Whilst we are very sorry to see him leave, we will surely miss him and wish him every success in his future endeavors. We thank him deeply for his leadership at Azerfon.” Mr. Koronias further said the appointment of Klaus will mark a new chapter of dynamic leadership for Azerfon. His experience in value creation from many different markets will be instrumental for us. As Chairman of Azerfon’s Supervisory Board I look forward to supporting Klaus as our new CEO.
