Thamm, the former Regional Director of Continental Europe at Compass, the world’s largest catering company
Circus SE, a leading AI and robotics company specialising in autonomous kitchen systems, announced the appointment of Jürgen Thamm to its Advisory Board. Thamm, the former Regional Director of Continental Europe at Compass, the world’s largest catering company with over 500,000 employees and $42.2 billion in revenue, brings unparalleled expertise in food service and strategic growth to Circus’ mission of automating food service through AI and robotics globally.
With decades of leadership experience at Compass Group, Thamm has a deep understanding of the complexities and inefficiencies of manual labour in large-scale food operations, including the significant food waste that results from these challenges. As Compass focuses on serving large-scale enterprises in employee catering, Thamm recognises that much of the market potential remains untapped due to the high costs and limitations of manual labour.
“Full autonomy is the only way to solve the food service industry’s growing labour and cost crisis,” said Thamm. “Circus’ use of robotics and AI is not just innovative – it’s essential. With autonomous solutions like the CA-1 robot, we can unlock new markets that were previously inaccessible, while addressing food waste and inefficiencies at scale. I am honoured to join Circus in leading this transformation.”
