I thank everyone at BestSecret for the great work, trust, and collaboration over the years. While I step away from my position as CEO today, the development of our family business will always be essential and a matter of the heart to me. I look forward to actively taking part in BestSecret's future journey as member of the Advisory Board. Having worked together with Moritz for the past months, I am certain that he is the ideal person to lead us through the next stage of growth."
