Circus SE (WKN:A2YN35/ ISIN:DE000A2YN355/ XETRA:CA1) today announced the appointment of a new Co-CEO and Chief Financial Officer, a move aimed at reinforcing the company's leadership structure amid its global growth and product portfolio expansion.
The incoming Co-CEO/CFO 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 to drive the company's strategic initiatives.
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.

The new Co-CEO/CFO will be formally introduced at the Q2 Operational Update scheduled for July 16, 2026. Due to a confidentiality agreement, the disclosure of his identity is delayed until mid-July. This appointment underscores Circus's commitment to strengthening its financial and strategic leadership as it scales its operations.
