Cancom CEO Klaus Weinmann has resigned after 26 years at the helm of the business. Thomas Volk will take over when Weinmann steps down on 30 September.
Weinmann will remain on Cancom’s supervisory board to provide “advice and support” and will continue as CEO of Primepulse Group – a German venture capital firm that is Cancom’s largest single shareholder.
In a statement Weinman said: “I need not emphasise that Cancom is very important to me. But the growth of the Primepulse Group and the increasing tasks that this entails for me will no longer allow for a dual function as a member of the management board in the future.
“However, I would like to continue supporting the transformation of Cancom in the direction of its cloud and managed services business. I will therefore ask the shareholders to allow me to join the supervisory board.”
Volk is promoted from being Cancom’s president and general manager, which he has held since 1 November 2017.
Volk is already responsible for the group’s go-to-market strategy and marketing and he lead the company back into the UK market with two UK acquisitions, including London-based MSP Ocean Intelligent Communications and £80 million revenue UK reseller OCSL.
Cancom CEO Thomas Volk has quit the company over “differing opinions on the future strategic development of the company”.
