New personnel
Oldenburg and Erichsen: Two new bosses at Toll Collect
The new financial year begins with two changes to the management of truck toll operator Toll Collect. With effect from September 1, 2019, the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure has appointed Ute Oldenburg, previously CFO of DB Station & Service AG, as Managing Director Operations and Finance. She succeeds Thomas Eberhardt, who is leaving the company at his own request after 13 years as Managing Director.
Mark Erichsen has been appointed as the new Managing Director Technology. He was most recently external program manager at Autobahn GmbH des Bundes and previously held the same position at Toll Collect GmbH as part of the successful implementation of the "Toll on all federal highways" project. He takes over his new role from Robert Woithe, who has held this position since 2010 and is also leaving the company at his own request.
"I am looking forward to working with Ute Oldenburg and Mark Erichsen. Both enjoy an excellent reputation. I would like to thank their predecessors for their many years of successful work for our company," said Gerhard Schulz, Chairman of the Toll Collect Management Board.
