Wann took office on 1 January 2024, succeeding the company's founders, Patric Faßbender and Marcus Stahl. He has since driven a period of record profitable growth and strategic evolution as tonies scaled internationally.
Christian Bailly, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of tonies, says: “In less than two and a half years, Tobias Wann has led tonies’ evolution from category creator to global champion. His ability to set clear priorities, build a scalable organisation, and assemble the right team has produced outstanding results – all delivered in the midst of a volatile macro environment.
