Circus SE (WKN:A2YN35/ ISIN:DE000A2YN355/ XETRA:CA1) announced today the appointment of a new Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, a move designed to bolster the company's leadership structure as it 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 concentrate on these same disciplines.
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. 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 remains available to the company in an advisory capacity and will additionally 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. A confidentiality agreement prevents disclosure of his identity until mid-July. This appointment signals Circus's commitment to strengthening its financial and strategic leadership as it scales its dual-use technology solutions for civilian and defence applications.
