Link11, a global IT security specialist, is strengthening its existing management team of Jens-Philipp Jung (CEO), Karsten Desler (CTO) and Rolf Gierhard (CRO) by bringing on Maximilian Haakh as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Maximilian Haakh will lead the company’s financial strategy and will also be responsible for IT, HR and Legal to support Link11’s growth with his expertise. His many years of experience in mergers & acquisitions (M&A), corporate finance and strategic corporate development make him a valuable asset for Link11.

The growing threats require innovative solutions, and I am highly motivated to play my part in building a European cybersecurity champion.
