Erik joined Vodafone Global Enterprise recently and has overall responsibility for driving Vodafone’s growth in the machine-to-machine (M2M) market. Erik came to Vodafone from Cinterion Wireless where he was Chief Sales Officer and a member of the company’s Executive Management Board since 2005. Prior to Cinterion, Erik was Vice President Sales at Landis+Gyr Switzerland. Before that he worked in various functions with Siemens in Germany and the US.
He holds a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor in Business Studies, and is fluent in English and French in addition to his native German.
“Over the next five years, we’re going to see a dramatic breakthrough in M2M applications as organisations realise the unheralded potential it represents for revenue generation and improved customer satisfaction. I joined Vodafone Global Enterprise at the cusp of a transformation in the M2M marketplace,” he said.
Supported by a dedicated global team of M2M specialists, Erik is responsible for helping Vodafone customers to develop new service-based customer propositions and revenue streams, enhance business operations, improve functionality and environmental stewardship, and to connect their business with its end users.
