The Supervisory Board of ecotel communication ag has resolved to reappoint Peter Zils as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for a further three-year term. The reappointment will take effect upon the conclusion of the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 28 August 2026.

Peter Zils founded ecotel in January 1998 and served as Chief Executive Officer for many years. In April 2023, he moved from the Management Board to the Supervisory Board. Following the departure of the previous CEO at short notice, the Supervisory Board appointed him to the Management Board in February 2026. Since then, he has led the company as Chief Executive Officer. His reappointment provides the continuity required for ecotel’s ongoing transformation and strategic development.

“Peter Zils knows ecotel better than anyone and has a deep understanding of the company, its structures, partners, customers and markets. His extensive entrepreneurial experience is of great value for the tasks ahead. The Supervisory Board is confident that he will continue to drive the transformation forward with a clear vision and further develop ecotel for the long term,” said Uwe Nickl, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of ecotel communication ag.

Since Peter Zils returned to the Management Board, internal structures have been realigned, key process optimization initiatives have been launched, and strategic and operational transformation initiatives have been consolidated. In the coming months, processes and systems will be further automated, standardized and optimized. A key priority is the consistent alignment of the company with the needs of business customers and wholesale partners.

To this end, ecotel will strengthen its sales organization, involve sales partners more closely and further develop its product portfolio, particularly in the areas of Cloud, Fiber and Managed Services. Artificial intelligence will play a key role in this development, both in creating new product solutions and optimizing the internal organization and improving collaboration with customers and sales partners.

“Our ambition is to further develop ecotel from the perspective of our customers and partners, making the company simpler, faster and more innovative. Together with the entire team, we aim to create the foundations for profitable growth and long-term success,” said Peter Zils, Chief Executive Officer of ecotel communication ag.
