Circus SE (WKN:A2YN35/ ISIN:DE000A2YN355/ XETRA:CA1) announced today the appointment of a new Co-CEO and Chief Financial Officer, a strategic move to reinforce its leadership as the company pursues global growth and expands its product portfolio. The incoming executive brings over a decade of senior leadership experience in corporate and financing strategy, mergers and acquisitions, international expansion, and business development, with a focus on new technologies across the aviation and automotive industries. At Circus, he will apply these disciplines to further the company's objectives.
Nikolas Bullwinkel will continue as sole Managing Director and CEO of Circus SE. Claus Holst Gydesen, who previously served as Co-CEO, transitions to Chairman of the Advisory Board.
