Global Talent Hub

Successful placement of talents in leadership roles

in heads

The Global Talent Hub serves as a pipeline for high potentials at Deutsche Telekom, which helps them develop into a leadership role or toward the next level – directly or with a step in between. It is an incubator and launchpad that gives talents visibility on a Group level, connects them with relevant business leaders across segments, and helps accelerate their careers to become key players in the future. For joining the Global Talent Hub the high potentials have to meet key criteria along the four As (achievements, ability, attitude, and ambition); readiness to immediately make the next career move beyond the current horizon – to another segment, country, or business area; ability to express themselves fluently in English on business topics.

In 2023, the Global Talent Hub placed more than 100 talents into new positions, 35 of which were leadership positions. This covers 22 percent of all leadership placements. 30 percent of our placements were cross-segment, which contributes to our main USP of acting globally and independently from segment locations. To establish new contacts and create visibility among the talents and vis-à-vis the business, the first Global Talent Hub conference took place in June 2023.
