Czymek-Lauer expressed her enthusiasm: “I intend to continue developing our financial strategy and strengthen our sustained growth.”
CEO Norbert Rotter emphasized the importance of internal succession for stability: “Internal succession ensures continuity and sets a clear signal for stability at board level.” Under Czymek-Lauer’s financial leadership, NTT DATA Business Solutions aims to maintain its growth trajectory in the volatile SAP consulting market, leveraging its expertise to support SMEs globally.
