André Krause is a German-Swiss dual citizen and has been Chief Executive Officer of Sunrise since January 2020. He is responsible for the strategic direction and transformation of the company and led it through one of the most significant phases in its history: the merger with UPC and the subsequent integration of the two companies into a new company that is almost twice as large. In 2024, André led this new Sunrise as part of a spin-off from Liberty Global to become an independent, publicly traded Swiss company on the SIX Swiss Exchange. In doing so, he positioned Sunrise as the strong number two and leading challenger in the Swiss telecommunications market, with a clear growth strategy and a diversified portfolio for residential and business customers.

Previously, André Krause was Chief Financial Officer of Sunrise from 2011 to 2019. In this role, he was responsible for the company's financial strategy. He thus not only contributed significantly to the transformation of the company from a former private equity owner to a successful stock market listing in 2015. He was also instrumental in the profitability and growth of the listed company Sunrise between 2015 and 2020, when high investments in the mobile network (frequency auction and 5G roll-out) were made and Sunrise achieved investment grade status.

Before joining Sunrise, André Krause worked at Telefónica O2 Germany, first as Vice President Strategy and Consulting (2004–2006), then as Chief Financial Officer (2006–2011). Other positions included McKinsey & Company and Arthur Andersen. André Krause holds a Bachelor's degree in Economics from the University of Bielefeld.
