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.”
