Aphos Gesellschaft fuer IT-Sicherheit mbH is strategically realigning its management structure, thereby laying the foundation for the next phase of organic growth. With Sebastian Geide as Chief Sales Officer and Maximilian Maschtowski von Kolovrat as Head of Operations, the company is strategically expanding its leadership team in the areas of sales and operational excellence.

Sebastian Geide joined the executive management team in May 2026

Sebastian Geide has been part of the executive management team at Aphos Gesellschaft fuer IT-Sicherheit mbH since May 2026. In his role as Chief Sales Officer (CSO), he is responsible for the further development of sales and the expansion of strategic market potential.

Sebastian Geide has many years of experience as a sales specialist and executive in the IT security industry. Most recently, he worked at TIM AG. There, as well as in previous positions, he gained extensive experience in the sales management of growing business units. His focus is on the interaction between end customers, service providers, distributors, and leading manufacturers--an environment that plays a central role in the further development of Aphos GmbH.

Maximilian Maschtowski Assumes Role as Head of Operations

Since February 2026, Maximilian Maschtowski von Kolovrat has been driving the company's operational development as Head of Operations. Previously, he held a leadership position overseeing internal sales, bringing with him deep knowledge of internal processes, customer requirements, and scaling issues.

In his new role, he will further strengthen the company's operational foundation--particularly with regard to robust processes, clear responsibilities, and the sustainable professionalization of day-to-day operations.

Foundation for Further Growth

By expanding its leadership team, Aphos is responding to the increasing demands of a growing cybersecurity service provider. The company continues to rely on a clear technical focus, close partnerships with selected technology manufacturers, and a consistently customer-oriented approach.

"Over the past few years, we have built Aphos Gesellschaft fuer IT-Sicherheit into a customer-oriented cybersecurity service provider. Thanks to our thematic focus and close collaboration with selected technology partners, we were able to quickly establish ourselves in the market. Today, we are already among the largest Sophos partners in Germany and Europe. With the targeted expansion of our leadership team, we are now laying the organizational foundation to drive professionalization and further growth in an even more structured manner," says Roman Jacobi, CEO of Aphos Gesellschaft fuer IT-Sicherheit mbH.

Expanding Leadership as a Strategic Move

With the new leadership structure, Aphos GmbH underscores its commitment to consistently driving growth not only in the market but also within the organization. These personnel decisions thus mark an important step toward sustainably expanding the company's position as a specialized next-gen cybersecurity service provider.
