Joint leadership at the Heinlein Group: Jutta Horstmann becomes Co-CEO

Jutta Horstmann knows the world of open source from different perspectives: As Managing Director of the Zentrums für digitale Souveränität (ZenDiS), she worked to anchor open IT solutions in public administration. Prior to that, she played a key role in shaping the technological direction and growth of a global company at eyeo (Adblock Plus) as COO and CTO.

What all these positions have in common is a commitment to open technologies and a sustainable IT infrastructure. Values that are also at the centre of the Heinlein Group and which Jutta Horstmann will now continue to drive forward as Co-CEO together with Peer Heinlein.

Elements for digital independence

With OpenCloud, OpenTalk, mailbox and Heinlein Support, we are already providing key elementss for a sovereign and resilient digital infrastructure. Our solutions are open source, can be operated independently and stand for data protection, interoperability and long-term availability. In this way, we support public institutions, companies and civil society in reducing critical dependencies and ensuring sustainable innovation. In this way, we are making a concrete contribution to Europe's technological resilience, both in terms of the political objectives of EuroStack and Deutschland-Stack and in the practical development of trustworthy IT structures.

Conclusion: Shaping the digital future

How can we shape our own digital future? For us, one thing is certain: digital sovereignty has long been more than just a buzzword. It is a strategic necessity that affects us all. Independent, secure and open IT solutions such as OpenCloud are crucial to reducing technological dependencies and remaining capable of acting in the long term - today and in the future.

With the new joint leadership at Group level, we are ideally positioned for this: strategically, technologically and with a clear commitment to a digitally sovereign future for Europe.
