Tobias Kahmann responsible for two merged departments

Effective as of the beginning of 2014, Tobias Kahmann has accepted responsibility as Director of two merged departments at GEA Refrigeration Technologies: Marketing and Market Intelligence. Announcing this in a press communiqué, GEA said that Annette Wille, who was previously head of the Department Marketing, will move to a new assignment at GEA Refrigeration Technologies.

Kahmann, who was the Director of Market Intelligence before its merger with the Department of Marketing, is now responsible for all marketing activities: market-data generation, market analysis, market-data resourcing, and development of marketing strategy, as well as internal and external communication, the communiqué revealed.

Before joining the GEA Group in early 2012, Kahmann, an Economist-lawyer, worked at E.ON Ruhrgas, where his last position was in Strategy and Stakeholder Management in the Division Exploration & Production, GEA informed, and added that prior to that, he was active as a management consultant and was responsible for areas of work, such as the strategic re-positioning of after-sales business and the development of a customer-loyalty programme for a German automobile brand.
