Retarus Group brings in CTO Jürgen Peschel from Vodafone

Jürgen Peschel has taken over as the new Chief Technology Officer (CTO), with overall strategic responsibility for the service office and IT operations at the Retarus Group. With this move the company continues to expand its management team’s competencies in the field of telecommunication services. As CTO, Jürgen Peschel will report directly to Martin Hager, CEO of the Retarus Group.

By appointing Jürgen Peschel (44) the global service provider of cloud messaging services for email, fax, SMS, EDI and voice services has bolstered its top management with a technology and communications expert commanding over years of international IT management experience. Prior to his move to Retarus the computer scientist worked for 13 years in management positions at Vodafone, where his leadership roles included heading up the IT systems technology, as well as managing the global strategy reorientation of Vodafone network technology. Previously Jürgen Peschel held leadership positions at both T-Systems and Deutsche Telekom for several years.

Over the last year Retarus has strengthened its management team by appointing Sascha Wellershoff as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Thomas Tellert as Director Sales Europe, Steve MacDiarmid as Director Sales Germany and David Cole as Director Development, four highly experienced international managers from the telecommunications industry. Together with Jürgen Peschel this team will advance the internationalization of Retarus and its investments in the US and Asian markets.

“An increasing number of companies are entrusting external service providers with their communication technology. The strategic expansion of our top management ensures that we are perfectly positioned to focus more strongly on providing value added services for large enterprises and on entering new markets”, says Martin Hager, CEO of the Retarus Group. “His many years of experience working with global players in the telecommunications sector make Jürgen Peschel the perfect addition to our team.”
