As more and more connected devices emerge, the opportunity to transform digitally extends to industries that were previously excluded from digitization. In his new role, Knud will ensure EMnify is building, shipping and supporting the right products to enable outstanding IoT solutions for all sectors.”

Frank Stöcker, CEO, comments: “With our German engineered software innovations and proven product market fit we’re proud to further scale our offering.
