NFON, a leading European provider of integrated Cloud business communications, continues to drive the company's transformation by appointing Jana Richter as Vice President Artificial Intelligence with effect from October 1, 2024. Jana Richter was previously responsible for leading international teams in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI) applications and Cloud solutions at SAP SE, and most recently as Vice President SAP Business AI Experiences. Her focus here was on the development of AI applications that enable an outstanding user experience. This makes Jana Richter an ideal fit for NFON and its orientation towards becoming a provider of AI-based business communication solutions. "Modern AI-powered solutions should be designed to immediately ease the user’s workload; in a rapidly changing market environment, this is the key to success. I am looking forward to contributing my experience to NFON and working together with the team to shape this exciting path,“ says Jana Richter. Andreas Wesselmann, Chief Technology Officer of NFON AG adds: "Being able to draw on many years of experience and strong expertise in AI applications means Jana will be able to provide significant impetus for the transformation of our business and the realisation of internal AI use cases." Patrik Heider, Chief Executive Officer of NFON AG adds: "We warmly welcome Jana and are delighted to have gained an internationally recognised leader to progress the development of AI and Cloud solutions."
By creating this new position of Vice President Artificial Intelligence, NFON is once again strengthening its expertise in the field of AI. At the beginning of the year, Andreas Wesselmann, also from SAP, took over the position of CTO of NFON AG and has since driven NFON's orientation towards becoming a provider of AI-based business communication solutions. As part of this transformation, NFON recently acquired botario GmbH, a technology company that specialises in speech processing and efficient automation. They use custom AI solutions to help companies optimise their business processes and automate their communication workflows.
More information about the takeover of botario is available here.
