Circus SE (WKN: A2YN35 / ISIN: DE000A2YN355 / XETRA: CA1) has announced the appointment of Jurgen Thamm to its Supervisory Board, following his election at the company's Annual General Meeting with a 98.35 percent approval vote. Thamm brings over two decades of experience in global food service operations, having previously served as Regional Director Continental Europe and as a member of the Executive Committee at Compass Group, one of the world's largest food service companies, which serves over 5.5 billion meals annually across offices, schools, hospitals, and sports venues.
Thamm's extensive background in scaling complex, distributed food operations across multiple countries and thousands of sites is expected to add a new dimension of operational governance to Circus's board. This comes at a critical time as the company accelerates its growth: just ten months after launching commercial operations, Circus is on track to have more than 50 autonomous systems live across nine countries by year-end, with deployments spanning enterprise and defence customers, including the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) and Ukrainian ground forces.
"Circus has built something rare: a robotics and AI platform that is already proving itself in the field, from defence deployments to enterprise rollouts. Having advised the Company since 2024, 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," said Jurgen Thamm.
Nikolas Bullwinkel, CEO and Founder of Circus, commented, "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 defence and enterprise. We're glad to have him formally on board."
Thamm succeeds Mark Harre, who served for nearly three years. Circus expressed gratitude for Harre's contributions and commitment to the company's growth.
Circus SE is a German dual-use technology company developing proprietary AI models, autonomous robotic sustainment systems, and a central operating platform for civilian and defence applications. With a globally active portfolio of autonomous meal supply robotics and high-volume serial production live, Circus is building the infrastructure for autonomous food supply, with a mission to fuel humanity.
