A passion for technology and innovation

As well as the role of CTO, at the start of the year he will also become the second Management Board member alongside Patrik Heider as CEO of NFON AG. “The task ahead of us is to align technology, products and sales,” said Patrik Heider. “Harmonising these three areas allows us to offer our European customers optimal support with the digital transformation and the intelligent use of state-of-the-art cloud communication solutions.”
