Manfred Sedello (†), October 24, 2022

Manfred Sedello was the GSM-R authority at the founding of quattron in 2002, always fervently advocating for the consideration of telecommunication and railway operational aspects in the introduction of innovative technologies.
He drove the internationalization of quattron and his entrepreneurial spirit was inexhaustible. Even when he stepped down from his role as Managing Partner at quattron management consulting at the end of 2016, he dedicated another full 5 years to quattron group africa.
Those who knew him will never forget his enthusiasm in project implementation, and for many, he was a father figure.
He will always have a place in our hearts.
