He has successfully led growth and transformation initiatives in various industries and markets. With his strong industry expertise as well as his broad go-to-market and commercial experience, he is the ideal candidate to lead Detecon into the next phase of growth. He will also further strengthen the company&#8217;s expertise in the field of telecommunications and expand the focus on the digital transformation of companies and institutions in other industries. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My sincere thanks to J\u00fcrgen Sch\u00e4fer for his commitment and successes in recent years.

Uwe Heckert will become a new member of the Management Board of T-Systems and has been in intensive discussions with J\u00fcrgen Sch\u00e4fer in recent weeks to ensure a smooth handover at Detecon.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am proud to become part of this team and to continue the next chapter of Detecon&#8217;s success together: in close partnership with our customers \u2013 transformational, along high standards and resulting in significant impact.
