Timm Degenhardt to leave Sunrise

Sunrise Communications Group AG (Sunrise) has announced that Timm Degenhardt, Chief Consumer Officer since May 2016 and Member of the Executive Leadership Team since February 2013, has decided to leave the company to pursue new challenges.

“Timm successfully supported our strategy to position Sunrise as a consumer-oriented and innovative brand in the Swiss telecommunications market, with achievements including the establishment of our NPS operations, the consolidation of the prepaid market through our fully-owned subsidiary, YOL Communications GmbH, the turn-around of our fixed line business and our digitalization strategy. Timm also provided valuable support during our successful IPO in 2015. Along with the Board and the Executive Leadership Team, I would like to thank him for his commitment and contribution”, comments Olaf Swantee, CEO.

Timm Degenhardt: “The past 4 years have been tremendously intense and fun. By repositioning Sunrise for consumers and launching innovative services like Freedom, Sunrise Home and Rewards, the company has grown its market share and become a trusted consumer brand. With a strong roadmap in place for 2017 and a committed and capable team, I am sure Sunrise will continue on this path. I wish the team continued success. “

Timm Degenhardt joined Sunrise as Chief Marketing Officer in February 2013 and has been Chief Consumer Officer since May 2016. His resignation from the Executive Leadership Team is effective at the end of February 2017.

To maintain Sunrise’s successful position in the Swiss market, Olaf Swantee, CEO, will lead the company’s Consumer Customers Unit until a successor for Timm Degenhardt has been appointed.
