Sunrise: Jon Erni becomes Head of Business Customers
Jon Erni will become the new head of Sunrise's business customer segment effective January 18, 2010. He will take over this role from René Fischer, who will return to his consulting firm.
In Jon Erni, Sunrise is gaining a high-profile executive who is very familiar with both the Swiss market and the telecommunications environment, according to a press release issued on Thursday. In his new role at Sunrise, Jon Erni will head up the business customers division, which includes large, medium-sized and small companies. The business customer division is Sunrise's second core segment alongside the private customer business.
Erni has several years of experience in the Swiss telecommunications industry. He has been with Alcatel-Lucent for 14 years, most recently as Interim CEO Switzerland. Previously, he was responsible for Sales and Marketing as well as Services. The 41-year-old Swiss engineer is married and has a daughter.
The previous Head of Business Clients, René Fischer, will leave the company once the handover to Jon Erni has been completed. Until then, he will retain full responsibility as Head of Business Customers and member of the management team. Fischer has successfully restructured Sunrise's business customer segment since the beginning of 2008, making a significant contribution to Sunrise's growth.
