I would like to thank Anthony Maatouk for the opportunity and trust he has placed in me to build a strong organization and lead it to success. I am very much looking forward to supporting our German customers in accelerating the construction of fiber-to-the-home, with innovative technologies and best-in-class industry solutions”.
Anthony Maatouk, CEO Geodesia Europe, says “We are accelerating our expansion in Europe, to export our expertise and know-how in engineering and fiber construction. Germany is one of our priorities, and I am very pleased to welcome Volker on board to lead our German mission.
