Long-Term Planned Transition – Co-Founder Benjamin Mund Steps Down from Management
Karlsruhe, January 7, 2026 – ITscope GmbH has announced a strategic leadership transition at the start of the new year. Effective January 1, 2026, Dr. Oliver Charles assumes the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO), taking over from co-founder Benjamin Mund, who will step down from the management team in March as part of a long-planned succession.
Driving the Next Phase of Growth
Charles, who joined ITscope’s management board in June 2025, has worked closely with Mund to prepare for this transition. “I am excited to lead ITscope into its next chapter and to work with our talented team to deliver fresh momentum to the market,” said Charles. “Our unique data foundation in the ICT channel enables solutions that help IT resellers streamline operations and automate processes.”

Co-Founder Steps Down After Two Decades
Benjamin Mund co-founded ITscope in 2003 alongside Alexander Münkel and Stefan Reger, guiding the company through multiple growth phases, most recently as part of the Exact Group. “The timing for this transition couldn’t be better,” Mund commented. “We have prepared thoroughly, and I am confident ITscope is in excellent hands with Oliver.”
