Circus SE Appoints Former Compass Group Executive to Supervisory Board

MUNICH, GERMANY - August 25, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Circus SE (WKN: A2YN35 / ISIN: DE000A2YN355 / XETRA: CA1) has appointed Jurgen Thamm as a new member of its Supervisory Board, a move that bolsters the robotics company's leadership as it accelerates its global rollout. Thamm, who brings over two decades of experience in the food service sector, was elected with an overwhelming 98.35% shareholder approval at the company's Annual General Meeting. His extensive background includes serving as Regional Director for Continental Europe and as a member of the Executive Committee at Compass Group, a global food service giant that serves over 5.5 billion meals annually across offices, schools, hospitals, and sports venues. In that role, he oversaw operations spanning multiple countries and thousands of sites, giving him a deep understanding of scaling complex, distributed food operations.

Circus SE is a German dual-use technology company that develops proprietary AI models, autonomous robotic sustainment systems, and a central operating platform for civilian and defense applications. The company has made significant strides since launching commercial operations just ten months ago, and it is on track to have more than 50 autonomous systems live across nine countries by year-end. These systems are already being deployed in enterprise and defense settings, including with the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) and Ukrainian ground forces. Thamm, who has been advising the company since 2024, expressed his enthusiasm about joining the board, stating, "Circus has built something rare: a robotics and AI platform that is already proving itself in the field, from defense deployments to enterprise rollouts. I've seen the pace of execution firsthand. I'm joining the Supervisory Board to help Circus scale that same discipline as it moves into its next phase of growth."

CEO and Founder Nikolas Bullwinkel welcomed Thamm's appointment, noting, "Jurgen has watched Circus scale from close up for almost two years. His industry insights across dozens of markets is exactly what we need on the board as we accelerate our rollout and deepen our position in defense and enterprise." Thamm succeeds Mark Harre, who served nearly three years on the board, and Circus expressed gratitude for Harre's contributions. With Thamm's operational expertise, Circus aims to strengthen its governance and execution capabilities as it expands its autonomous food supply infrastructure globally.
