NFON AG Announces Leadership Transition with New CEO and CFO Appointments

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, previously Chief Technology Officer, 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 follows the departure of previous CEO and CFO Patrik Heider, who requested early termination of his contract to pursue new professional challenges.

Wesselmann's promotion to CEO represents a strategic consolidation of leadership responsibilities, as he will now oversee not only technology but also the company's strategic direction, sales, and marketing functions. This integration of product, technology, and market responsibilities is designed to align innovations more closely with customer needs and accelerate scaling efforts. The company has demonstrated confidence in Wesselmann's leadership by extending his contract early for five years until 2030.

The appointment of Alexander Beck brings substantial financial expertise to NFON's management team. Beck brings extensive experience as CFO and managing director with international expertise 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 the company's financial strategy and will work alongside Wesselmann to advance NFON's development and growth initiatives.

Rainer Koppitz, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, emphasized the strategic importance of these changes, stating that this reorganization lays the foundation for NFON's next growth phase. The company acknowledges Heider's significant contributions to its successful development while expressing confidence in Wesselmann's visionary leadership and technological excellence. The addition of Beck to the management team is seen as crucial for securing long-term sustainable growth and investment strength.

Wesselmann expressed his commitment to continuing the implementation of the NFON Next 2027 corporate strategy, focusing on expanding innovative capabilities, tapping new market opportunities, and establishing NFON as the leading European provider of AI-based business communications. The leadership changes come at a critical time for the company, which serves approximately 55,000 business customers across Europe through its cloud communications platform operated from certified data centers in Germany.
