Circus SE Appoints Aviation & Auto Veteran as New Co-CEO/CFO

Circus SE (XETRA: CA1), a German dual-use technology company, has announced a strategic leadership reshuffle to support its global growth and product portfolio expansion. The company has appointed a new Co-CEO and Chief Financial Officer, who brings over a decade of senior leadership experience in corporate and financing strategy, M&A, international expansion, and business development, particularly in new technologies across the aviation and automotive industries. This executive, whose identity remains confidential until mid-July due to a confidentiality agreement, will focus on these disciplines at Circus. The appointment underscores Circus's commitment to scaling its autonomous robotic sustainment systems and AI models for both civilian and defense applications.

Under the new structure, Nikolas Bullwinkel continues as sole Managing Director and CEO of Circus SE. Claus Holst Gydesen, the former Co-CEO, transitions to Chairman of the Advisory Board. Meanwhile, former CFO Fabian Becker departs the executive team after nearly five years to pursue his own entrepreneurial path, a decision the company respects and supports. Becker will remain available in an advisory capacity and will join the Supervisory Board of Circus Defence SE. The new Co-CEO/CFO will be formally introduced at the Q2 Operational Update on July 16, 2026, as per the original release on www.newmediawire.com.

Circus SE is known for developing proprietary AI models, autonomous robotic sustainment systems, and a central operating platform for civilian and defense uses. With a globally active portfolio of autonomous meal supply robotics and high-volume serial production, Circus is building the infrastructure for autonomous food supply, on a mission to fuel humanity. This leadership change comes at a pivotal time as the company expands its dual-use technology offerings, leveraging its XETRA-listed stock (CA1) to attract investment. The incoming executive's background in aviation and automotive industries suggests a focus on scaling operations and enhancing financial strategy to drive Circus's next growth phase. The company's IR contact, Elena Coles, is available for further details.
