Many of the world’s most renowned brands in the consumer electronics industry such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and Xiaomi collaborate with B2X.
After continued rapid growth in the past years, both in financial and operational figures, B2X decided to install a transformation program. The goal of this program is to set the right basis and pace for continued business growth and launch appealing and innovative customer care solutions in the consumer electronics and IoT product service markets. As a consequence, and to support this transformation phase, B2X’s executive leadership team, Rainer Koppitz, Dr. Marc Achhammer and Phil Telfer have offered to hand over their responsibilities to a new executive management team.
With immediate effect, Alfons Krauthausen will assume the overall management responsibility leading B2X as Chief Executive Officer.

Having worked for leading companies in the after-sales service industry such as CTDI, Regenersis and Computacenter, he brings a wealth of experience to support B2X’s goal to become the leading after-sales BPO partner to electronics and technology companies around the world.
B2X CEO Alfons Krauthausen will be supported by Dion Carter as appointed B2X Group Finance Director. Dion is an accomplished finance professional with experience in high-growth and turnaround strategies within predominantly private equity owned BPO businesses across the after-sales service, manufacturing and contact center industries.
