The power of the crowd also in the management model: GObugfree relies on co-CEOs
Change of leadership at GObugfree. With the appointment of Christina Kistler and Marcel Eyer as Co-CEOs, GObugfree, the Swiss platform for crowd-based vulnerability management, underlines its commitment to diversity and innovation in its leadership structure. This is another milestone for the company, which is committed to promoting ethical hacking and the accessibility of cybersecurity, especially to protect SMEs in the DACH region.
The startup GObugfree has set itself the goal of making cyber security affordable and accessible for companies of all sizes. For a long time, this was only an issue for large companies - with GObugfree's offering, SMEs also gain access to a verified, global community of hundreds of ethical hackers and security experts, bug bounty programs, vulnerability disclosure programs (VDPs), community bug tests and attack surface analyses.
With the introduction of the co-CEO model, the company is sending a further signal that it stands for new collaborative working models, diversity and common goals - not only in its own hacker community, but also in the GObugfree team itself.
Christina Kistler: "I look forward to driving our mission forward together with Marcel and the entire GObugfree team. The power of our global community of ethical hackers and cybersecurity experts lies above all in our collective intelligence. This now also applies to our leadership model. Together, we want to support SMEs in particular, which often face major challenges when it comes to securing their digital infrastructure."
Christina Kistler brings around 20 years of extensive experience in marketing, sales, entrepreneurship and strategic leadership alongside her degrees in economics and digital business. Her international track record of developing effective marketing and sales strategies in various industries and countries reflects her passion for achieving real and sustainable results for organizations. Her strategic thinking and entrepreneurial spirit will play a critical role in leading GObugfree on the path to greater growth and innovation.
"With our co-CEO model, we want to further expand our leadership and at the same time strengthen GObugfree's ability to offer our customers innovative and effective solutions to protect themselves against digital threats," says Marcel Eyer.
With over 20 years of experience in software development, project management and IT security, Marcel Eyer takes responsibility for managing the technical aspects of the company. His expertise in developing secure applications underscores his commitment to the integrity and reliability of the GObugfree platform. Marcel's dedication to software product excellence will continue to drive the company's technical vision.
Co-founders Rolf Wagner, Michael Schläpfer and Pawel Kowalski will remain an integral part of the company. Rolf Wagner as COO and Michael Schläpfer as CSO will remain in the management team and continue to contribute their many years of security expertise to drive forward strategic initiatives. Due to his extensive experience in software development and product development, Pawel Kowalski will take on the role of Senior Business Development Manager to support the company's continued success.
GObugfree looks to the future with confidence, strengthened by its expanded leadership team and commitment to its mission of making crowdsourced cybersecurity accessible to all.
