Circus SE (WKN:A2YN35/ ISIN:DE000A2YN355/ XETRA:CA1) today announced the appointment of a new Co-CEO and Chief Financial Officer to strengthen its leadership structure in line with the company's global growth and product portfolio expansion. The incoming executive brings over a decade of senior leadership experience in corporate and financing strategy, M&A, international expansion, and business development, with a focus on new technologies across the aviation and automotive industries. At Circus, he will focus on these same disciplines to drive the company's dual-use technology strategy.
The announcement comes as Circus continues to expand its proprietary AI models, autonomous robotic sustainment systems, and central operating platform for civilian and defence applications. The company, which is listed on XETRA under the ticker CA1, has a globally active portfolio of autonomous meal supply robotics and high-volume serial production live, positioning itself as a key player in building infrastructure for autonomous food supply.
Nikolas Bullwinkel continues as sole Managing Director and CEO of Circus SE. Claus Holst Gydesen, former Co-CEO, transitions to Chairman of the Advisory Board, providing strategic guidance. Former CFO Fabian Becker departs the executive team after nearly five years to pursue his own entrepreneurial path. The company respects and supports his decision. Becker remains available to the company in an advisory capacity and will additionally join the Supervisory Board of Circus Defence SE, ensuring continuity in key areas.
The new Co-CEO/CFO will be formally introduced at the Q2 Operational Update on July 16, 2026. A confidentiality agreement prevents disclosure of his identity until mid-July, but the company emphasized that his background in aviation and automotive industries will be instrumental in scaling operations and pursuing new opportunities. The appointment underscores Circus SE's commitment to strengthening its financial and strategic leadership as it navigates growth in both civilian and defence markets.
