- Stephan Eger to become Chief Financial Officer at T-Mobile Czech Republic
- Thomas Dannenfeldt: “Hannes Wittig will further develop the success story”
Hannes Wittig, currently Managing Director and Head of European Telecommunications Research at JP Morgan, will become Head of Investor Relations at Deutsche Telekom as of May 1. He will succeed Stephan Eger, who has held this position since 2007 and will become CFO at the Czech DT subsidiary T-Mobile Czech Republic as of July 1.
“Stephan Eger set the standard for communicating with analysts and investors in the past eight years. Numerous awards like the Thomson Reuters Extel Award for Best Investor Relations in a listed company in Europe across all sectors or the German Investor Relations Award by DIRK (German Investor Relations Association) in the past year tell their own tale. I am sure that Stephan Eger will be very successful in his new entrepreneurial role as well,” stated Thomas Dannenfeldt, Chief Financial Officer at Deutsche Telekom. “I am happy that Hannes Wittig, an excellent successor, will join us and further develop this success story.”
Hannes Wittig has known Deutsche Telekom as an analyst since 2000 and, before that, as a consultant at McKinsey & Co. He and his teams were ranked in leading positions in investor surveys (e.g. Extel, Institutional Investors) over the past 15 years.
