NFON AG Announces Leadership Restructure to Drive AI-Based Business Communications Growth

The Supervisory Board of NFON AG has announced significant management changes effective October 1, 2025, with Andreas Wesselmann transitioning from Chief Technology Officer to Chairman of the Management Board and Alexander Beck joining as the new Chief Financial Officer. This leadership restructuring follows outgoing CEO and CFO Patrik Heider's request for early contract termination to pursue new professional opportunities, marking a strategic shift in the company's executive direction.

Wesselmann's appointment as CEO represents a consolidation of leadership responsibilities that integrates product, technology, and market functions under single oversight. His expanded role now includes responsibility for sales and marketing alongside strategic direction, designed to better align innovations with customer needs and accelerate scaling efforts. The company demonstrated long-term commitment to Wesselmann's leadership vision by extending his contract early for five years until 2030, ensuring continuity in the implementation of the NFON Next 2027 corporate strategy.

Alexander Beck brings substantial financial expertise to the Management Board with extensive experience as CFO and managing director across multiple international sectors. His background includes retail leadership at MediaMarktSaturn, software expertise at Nemetschek, and most recently, financial leadership in the bicycle industry at Accell Group. As CFO, Beck will be responsible for the company's financial strategy and will collaborate closely with Wesselmann to advance NFON's development and growth initiatives.

Rainer Koppitz, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, emphasized the strategic importance of this reorganization for establishing the foundation for NFON's next growth phase. The leadership changes occur as NFON continues its focus on becoming the leading European provider of AI-based business communications, serving approximately 55,000 business customers across the continent. The company operates as a licensed telecoms provider in 15 European countries and maintains its cloud services in certified German data centers powered entirely by renewable energy sources.

Wesselmann expressed confidence in the new leadership structure, anticipating close collaboration with Beck to expand innovative capabilities and tap new market opportunities. These management changes reflect NFON's commitment to combining technological innovation with operational excellence, particularly in AI-based applications that position the company for sustained growth in the competitive business communications landscape.
