A warm welcome to Gerald Vollnhals as COO and Saki Nakajima as Head of Business Development for Japan.

Our CxO team has welcomed an experienced startup expert as of September 1, 2026. We’re thrilled that Gerald has been following SECOR since its founding and that the time is now right to work with the SECOR.TEAM to bring the SECOR SDV PoC 3.0 to the streets for IAA Mobility 2027. Gerald brings over 30 years of startup experience to the table and has helped 20 different startups succeed. Gerald and Hartwig have been close friends for about 10 years thanks to the Munich Angel’s Network.

Tanja Wirzius-Schwerdtle is pleased to have recruited Saki Nakajima for Japan. This completes the Asia Team, which also includes Jimmy Kim for Korea.
This ensures the success of upcoming local activities through the end of 2026, including an SDV expert panel in Seoul and a sponsored booth at SEMICON Japan 2026 in Tokyo as part of the EU Business Hub.
