Circus SE, a German dual-use technology company, announced today the appointment of a new Co-CEO and Chief Financial Officer to strengthen its leadership structure amidst 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.
Nikolas Bullwinkel will continue 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 SE's commitment to leveraging top-tier talent from established industries to accelerate its mission.
Circus SE (XETRA:CA1) 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—on a mission to fuel humanity.
The appointment is important as it brings deep expertise in M&A and international expansion, which are critical for Circus SE's growth in both civilian and defence markets. The aviation and automotive backgrounds of the new executive suggest a focus on scaling production and integrating advanced technologies, potentially impacting the autonomous robotics industry and food supply chains worldwide. The company's dual-use technology also positions it at the intersection of commercial efficiency and national security interests.
