Since 2005, Kons has been at the head of the “RTL Foundation – We Help Children eV” and also oversees the general Charity activities of the media company.

It makes me proud that we are now expanding this commitment further,” said Kons. “I am deeply grateful for more than 30 fulfilling and exciting years with an amazing team of early risers. I am now really looking forward to the new, expanded tasks and, to be honest, also to being able to sleep a little longer.”
