We have exciting news: From 15th September, our company founder Peer Heinlein will have a new partner leading the Heinlein Group. Jutta Horstmann is taking on the role of co-CEO and will lead the company alongside him, focusing particularly on strategic development and strengthening digital sovereignty in Europe.
As part of the Heinlein Group, which includes mailbox alongside Heinlein Support, OpenTalk and OpenCloud, we're particularly pleased about this development. With Jutta Horstmann, we're strengthening our position as a provider of independent and secure communication solutions for Germany and Europe.
Experienced open source expert as new leader
Jutta Horstmann brings decades of experience from the open source community. Most recently, she served as managing director of the Centre for Digital Sovereignty (ZenDiS). Before that, she worked as COO and CTO at international tech company eyeo (Adblock Plus), where she drove both the technological realignment and company growth to over 300 employees.
This expertise fits perfectly with our shared approach: throughout her career, she has supported community-focused digitalisation, open source technologies and sustainable business development – exactly the values we've stood for at the Heinlein Group for over 30 years.
Our mission: digital sovereignty
Under the Heinlein Group umbrella, mailbox, OpenTalk, OpenCloud and Heinlein Support form important parts for an independent digital infrastructure. Our philosophy: all our solutions are based on open source technologies, can be operated independently, and stand for data protection and long-term availability. Together, we help public institutions, businesses and civil society reduce critical dependencies on big tech corporations and work towards an open and secure digital future for Europe.
