NFON AG Announces Leadership Changes with New CEO and CFO to Drive Next Growth Phase

The Supervisory Board of NFON AG, a leading European provider of integrated business communications, has announced significant changes to the company's management structure. Andreas Wesselmann will assume the role of Chairman of the Management Board (CEO) effective October 1, 2025, while Alexander Beck joins as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This leadership transition comes as previous CEO and CFO Patrik Heider requested early termination of his contract to pursue new professional challenges, with the Supervisory Board acknowledging his substantial contributions to NFON's positive development and growth.

Andreas Wesselmann, previously serving as Chief Technology Officer and Management Board member, will now oversee the company's strategic direction along with sales and marketing functions. This consolidation of product, technology, and market responsibilities aims to better align innovations with customer needs and accelerate scaling capabilities. Wesselmann's contract has been extended early for five years until 2030, demonstrating the board's confidence in his leadership. The appointment reflects NFON's commitment to strengthening its position in the competitive business communications landscape, particularly through enhanced integration of technological vision and market execution.

Alexander Beck brings extensive financial and management expertise to his new role as CFO, with international experience across multiple sectors including retail at MediaMarktSaturn, software at Nemetschek, and most recently the bicycle industry at Accell Group. As CFO, Beck will be responsible for NFON's financial strategy and will collaborate with Wesselmann to advance the company's development and growth trajectory. This appointment strengthens the Management Board with international financial management capabilities essential for sustaining long-term growth and investment strength in the evolving telecommunications market.

Rainer Koppitz, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, emphasized that this reorganization establishes the foundation for NFON's next growth phase, combining strategic vision with technological excellence while adding international financial expertise. The leadership changes occur as NFON continues to implement its NFON Next 2027 corporate strategy, focusing on establishing the company as Europe's leading provider of AI-based business communications. Wesselmann expressed commitment to expanding innovative capabilities and tapping new market opportunities through close collaboration with Beck, ensuring NFON maintains its competitive edge in serving approximately 55,000 business customers across Europe with intuitive communication solutions that enhance efficiency and flexibility.
