Gerard van de Aast, chairman of the Supervisory Board said: “As CEO of the company, Joost has demonstrated his ability to determine and implement the company’s strategy. Under his leadership, in close collaboration with Chris, Hilde and Marieke, KPN returned to sustainable growth. In addition, KPN is recognized as a leader in the field of sustainability and successfully focuses on value creation for all its stakeholders. We are therefore pleased that this team will continue their work for KPN.”

Farwerck added: “I look forward to continuing my role as CEO of our beautiful company that is at the heart of society. We have a committed and diverse Board of Directors and I am pleased to successfully execute the next phase of our strategy with this team and together with all KPN employees.”

KPN shareholders will be informed of the intended reappointments on April 17 2024, after which will be confirmed.
