MUNICH, GERMANY - Circus SE (WKN: A2YN35 / ISIN: DE000A2YN355 / XETRA: CA1) has announced the appointment of Jurgen Thamm to its Supervisory Board, a move that brings two decades of large-scale, multi-market operational leadership to the company's robotics rollout. The appointment was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting last Thursday with a 98.35 percent majority vote.
Thamm's extensive career in the global food service sector, including his role as Regional Director Continental Europe and member of the Executive Committee at Compass Group, positions him to provide critical governance as Circus accelerates its commercial operations. Compass Group, one of the world's largest food services companies, serves over 5.5 billion meals annually across offices, schools, hospitals, and sports venues, and Thamm was responsible for operations spanning multiple countries and thousands of sites.
This appointment comes at a pivotal time for Circus. Just ten months after launching commercial operations, the company is on track to have more than 50 autonomous systems live across nine countries by year-end, with deployments spanning enterprise and defence customers, including the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) and Ukrainian ground forces. Thamm's experience in scaling complex, distributed food operations across markets is expected to add a new dimension of operational governance to the board as Circus moves through its next phase of growth.
Thamm, who has been advising the company since 2024, expressed his enthusiasm for the new role, stating, "Circus has built something rare: a robotics and AI platform that is already proving itself in the field, from defence deployments to enterprise rollouts. Having advised the Company since 2024, I've seen the pace of execution firsthand. I'm joining the Supervisory Board to help Circus scale that same discipline as it moves into its next phase of growth."
Nikolas Bullwinkel, CEO and Founder of Circus, highlighted the strategic value of Thamm's appointment, saying, "Jurgen has watched Circus scale from close up for almost two years. His industry insights across dozens of markets is exactly what we need on the board as we accelerate our rollout and deepen our position in defence and enterprise. We're glad to have him formally on board."
Thamm succeeds Mark Harre, who served on the board for nearly three years. Circus expressed gratitude for Harre's contributions and commitment to the company's growth during his tenure.
Circus SE 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.
