Deutsche Telekom announced the appointment of Claudia Nemat to head its European operations and Marion Schick to take charge of their HR department.
Nemat joins from management consultants McKinsey, replacing Guido Kerkhoff who moved to ThyssenKrupp as CFO earlier this year. She will start her role overseeing Deutsche Telekom’s European subsidiaries in October.
Schick succeeds Thomas Sattelberger, who, according to reports, is due to retire. She was previously the minister for education and culture in the state government of Baden-Wuerttemberg and will assume her new role at the beginning of next year.
The appointments come in light of Deutsche Telekom’s gender equality quota, which said that a minimum of 30% of all upper and middle management positions shall be filled by women.
Germany’s biggest companies agreed to set voluntary targets on gender equality earlier this year with a mere 2.2% of executive board members being women at the 30 companies in Germany’s blue chip Dax index, according to reports.
