DSI Managing Office: New faces, new responsibilities
Nothing is more constant than change. The DSI office cannot and will not close itself off to this. We are pleased to welcome two new staff members and have partially redistributed or expanded roles internally. In order to keep it clear for you who is the right contact person for which topic, we have summarised our competences and responsibilities briefly.
New faces:
