Carsten Dirks, previously director sales international of IS.Teledata, has been appointed a member of the executive board and has also assumed the role of chief sales officer for the organization.

Previously, Wolf was chairman of the executive board and managing director of IS Innovative Software, the company he founded together with Wolfgang König in 1989. In 2003, IS Innovative Software AG merged with OnVista Technologies GmbH to become IS.Teledata AG and Stephan Wolf was appointed spokesman of the executive board.

Carsten Dirks is responsible for IS.Teledata’s global sales activities. He has been with IS.Teledata since 2001. During his tenure at IS.Teledata, Dirks has been responsible for European sales activities and was general manager of IS.Teledata Nordic Oy, in Helsinki, Finland.
