Gilching, February 19th, 2025 – Quantum Systems, Europe’s leading innovator in drone technology providing aerial intelligence for both government and commercial clients, announces a new executive leadership structure designed to elevate its growth ambition and technological excellence.
Effective January, company Co-Founder and CEO Florian Seibel transitioned to a Co-CEO role alongside Sven Kruck, who has served as Chief Revenue Officer and Managing Director since joining the company in December 2022. This change underscores Quantum Systems’ strategic focus on aligning visionary product development with robust operational leadership. Florian Seibel will focus on products, technology and strategy, while Sven Kruck will focus on operations, sales and finance.
As part of this transition, Frank Thieser, Chief Financial Officer since 2020, resigns from active management and takes on the role of Senior Advisor to Florian Seibel. Jonas Jarosch, who joined the company in autumn 2024 as Director of Finance, will succeed Frank Thieser as CFO, bringing expertise in financial strategy and operational excellence.
At the same time, Quantum Systems also announces the appointment of Martin Karkour as the new Chief Sales Officer (CSO) at Quantum Systems. He succeeds Sven Kruck, effective February 15th, 2025.
Since founding Quantum Systems a decade ago, Florian Seibel has led its transformation from a startup to a global enterprise with over 400 employees across five countries. Seibel commented:
“I want to dedicate more time to what I do best: Tech, Product & Strategy, and building outstanding teams. That is my real superpower and by the way the foundation of every successful tech startup. You can’t build a company without a product. It’s all about the product. I feel truly fortunate to share the helm with Sven as my Co-CEO.”
Sven Kruck has played a pivotal role in driving the company’s revenue growth and operational efficiency. Reflecting on his journey, Kruck noted:
“I was fortunate to have been at the forefront of Quantum Systems’ revenue and operational growth in my role as Managing Director and CRO. Our focus on manufacturing process improvement and fostering international collaboration has created a dynamic environment driven by innovation and excellence. I am honored to partner with Florian as Co-CEO to shape the future of UAV technology and look forward to dedicating my energy to develop Quantum Systems into a global champion.”
These changes position Quantum Systems to further solidify its position as a global innovator in UAV technology, with a strong commitment to advancing cutting-edge solutions for its clients worldwide.
