Paessler recently announced the appointment of Helmut Binder as CEO following the voluntary departure of Christian Twardawa at the end of this month.
Binder joins the company from the IT Services and Software specialist Materna, based in Dortmund, where he held the position of CEO for over four years, taking over from the two founders in 2015. Helmut Binder studied Economics in Cologne, Germany and Tokyo, Japan. He has been working in the IT industry for 15 years and has spent the majority of his career working in international markets.
