Circus SE wins Rational AG Commercial Director Dr. Maximilian Schwaller as VP Commercial

Circus SE (XETRA: CA1), a global technology leader in AI software and embodied AI-robotics for the food service industry, announces the appointment of Dr. Maximilian Schwaller as Vice President Commercial.

In his new role, Dr. Schwaller will oversee all global commercial operations and spearhead international sales activities.

With a career that began in Michelin-starred kitchens and evolved into senior leadership roles at RATIONAL AG (XETRA: RAA), one of the world's leading manufacturers of commercial kitchen equipment, Dr. Schwaller brings industry expertise and a rare combination of culinary insight, academic depth, and strategic acumen to the Circus team.

“Dr. Schwaller is probably the only chef in the world with a PhD in Economics and an impressive track record in global sales of professional kitchen technology,” said Nikolas Bullwinkel, CEO and Founder of Circus SE. “We’re excited to welcome him on board to lead our global commercial expansion. His experience and vision are a tremendous asset for our next phase of growth.

“What Circus has built is nothing short of revolutionary,” said Dr. Maximilian Schwaller. “This is the most disruptive leap forward I’ve ever seen in the food service sector. I’m thrilled to join at such a pivotal moment and help bring intelligent, autonomous meal supply to markets worldwide.”
