Philipp Schindera 

SVP Corporate Communications    
Deutsche Telekom
Germany

 

Philipp Schindera is one of the longest-serving comms chiefs in this year’s Influence 100, and undoubtedly now one of the leading (and most passionate) telecoms corporate communications specialists in the world, having helmed the corporate communications function at German telco giant Deutsche Telekom for almost 18 years and at its T-Mobile brand for a decade before that.

Schindera started his career as a radio journalist before moving into telecoms at T-Mobile in Germany, working his way up from spokesperson and magazine editor to head of corporate communications in Germany and then SVP for corporate comms internationally, over the course of 10 years.

Last year, Schindera was voted by German business journalists as Corporate Spokesperson of the Year in an annual survey conducted by industry magazine Wirtschaftsjournalist:in.
