Focus on operational excellence and sustainable growth: ESG´s management team expanded
Together with Dietmar Thelen, Alan Carson and Thomas Freiheit will form the management team of the HENSOLDT subsidiary ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH.
From May, Alan Carson and Thomas Freiheit will take on responsibility as further managing directors of ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH in addition to their previous roles as Head of Business Coordination and Head of Finance and Controlling, respectively, at the HENSOLDT Multi-Domain Solutions division.
With their respective areas of expertise in operational excellence and business transformation and in promoting efficient financial structures, processes and tools, Alan Carson and Thomas Freiheit will support Managing Director Dietmar Thelen in the future in assuming overall responsibility for ESG.
The new management structure reflects the clear focus on the effective and efficient development of cutting-edge technology for software-defined defence in all dimensions, on providing tailored solutions and products for the German armed forces and allied forces, and on sustainable, profitable growth.
“Alan Carson and Thomas Freiheit have been part of the ESG management team for many years. Together with the former HENSOLDT Spectrum Dominance and Airborne Solutions division, ESG forms the nucleus of HENSOLDT's new Multi-Domain Solutions division. With their outstanding expertise and extensive experience, they will provide excellent support for the successful further development of the division, as an important engine for implementing the group-wide ‘North Star’ strategy,” said HENSOLDT CEO Oliver Dörre. I am very much looking forward to the now even closer cooperation and wish the entire management team, with Dietmar Thelen at its head, continued success in the challenging tasks ahead,’ Dörre continued.
