Dax Group: A "Unicorn" is Coming to Telekom: AWS Manager becomes Technology Board Member
Cloud and AI are becoming increasingly important for Telekom - the company is therefore appointing a top manager from Amazon to the board of directors. The successor to CFO Illek was found internally.
The Deutsche Telekom is restructuring its board of directors. Jan Hofmeyr, currently a top manager at Amazon Web Services, will take over responsibility for product and technology from November 1. Financial chief Christian Illek will step down after the 2027 annual general meeting due to age, and will be succeeded by Dhananjay Mirchandani, who currently heads the company's controlling department.
The changes aim to continue an orderly transition to the next generation of board members and strengthen the company's international technology expertise.
