This is part of a broader plan of the new CEO to steer the group back to growth, several local telecom industry sources told ZF.
One of the most important changes Majoros is preparing is the replacement of the chief commercial officer of the residential segment, German Mathias Hanel, brought on board by the former CEO, Nikolai Beckers. Hanel is expected to leave Telekom Romania. A replacement solution would be someone from the commercial team of Deutsche Telekom in Czech Republic and Slovakia, ZF has found.
Three more expats, who came to Romania to be part of the former CEO team, should be leaving Telekom Romania, as well. The three are Olaf Lausen, chief of staff and business development director, Emmanuel Sordet – chief corporate affairs and Andreas Gruenewald, chief supply chain officer.
Telekom officials did not return ZF’s calls for comment on the information.
Telekom Romania is the largest actor on the landline telephony market, the second leading operator on the TV and Internet service segments and the third most important mobile phone operator. Its annual revenue stands at about one billion euros a year and its owners are Deutsche Telekom via Greece’s OTE, and the Romanian government.
