The Board of Directors has appointed Serge Gansner as the new CEO of Luware, effective immediately. He has been leading the company on an interim basis since February 2024.

The Board is convinced that, with his experience, he is the best person to lead the company into the next phase of growth. He has already set the course with initial organizational adjustments so that customers and partners can benefit from faster product development.”

With his new position, Serge Gansners’ career has come full circle.
