German cable operator Tele Columbus has named a new management team to take charge of HL Komm, the enterprise business-focused unit it acquired along with Pepcom last year.

Tele Columbus has named Richard Fahringer and Erik Dähne as co-CEOs of the unit, charged with developing the company’s position in the enterprise market under the Tele Columbus umbrella.

HL Komm will continue to offer wholesale services to businesses including telephony, internet, networking and data centre services.

Fahringer was named managing director of HL Komm in January, having previously worked for director of transformation and business development at IT and cloud specialist Nexinto.

Dähne joined HL Komm with responsibility for project management and was most recently head of products and solutions.

Fahringer and Dähne replace Uwe Nickl and Jürgen Mattfeldt, who are leaving the company.
