SoSafe strengthens C-suite with appointment of new Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Financial Officer

Strategic hires reinforce SoSafe’s mission to accelerate international expansion and drive sustainable growth in the security awareness and human risk management market.

Cologne, 19th November , 2025 – SoSafe, Europe’s leader in security awareness training and human risk management, today announced the appointment of Daniel Farkas as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) effective immediately and Peter Grausgruber as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) effective 1 January 2026. The new hires join the executive leadership team as the company enters its next phase of growth and scale.

As CRO, Daniel Farkas will lead all revenue-generating functions, including sales, partnerships, marketing, and customer success, with a focus on deepening customer relationships. An accomplished go-to-market leader with more than two decades of experience in scaling SaaS and digital businesses, Daniel previously held senior sales and revenue leadership roles at Staffbase, where he grew the business from €20 million ARR to €130 million ARR. He also held key positions at Box and Accenture. His track record spans international markets, building and leading high-performing teams, and delivering exceptional value to customers.

“SoSafe is redefining how organizations protect themselves against one of the biggest risks of our time: cyberattacks. Their human-centric approach stands out in an industry often dominated by technology-first thinking. Joining a team that combines purpose with innovation is a tremendous opportunity, and I’m eager to help SoSafe amplify its global impact,” says Daniel Farkas.

Peter Grausgruber brings a strong track record as a highly strategic scale-up CFO. At SoSafe, he will oversee financial strategy, operations, and investor relations. Peter began his career in consulting with BDO, Deloitte, and PwC, and later led transformation projects at OMV, one of Austria’s largest industrial companies. As CFO at Bitpanda, he helped to scale them to above €300 million in revenue. And as CFO at Fourthline, he played a key role in scaling both the Finance function and the wider organization, leading them to profitability. This mix of consulting foundations, industry leadership, and scale-up experience makes him an excellent fit for SoSafe’s growth trajectory. 

“SoSafe is operating in the right market at exactly the right time, with a highly relevant and proven solution,” said Peter Grausgruber. “The company’s sustained, healthy growth demonstrates strong product–market fit, and I’m excited to help shape its financial strategy as we continue to scale.”

“Bringing Daniel and Peter on board marks an exciting milestone for SoSafe as we accelerate our global mission,” said Dr. Niklas Hellemann, CEO and Co-Founder of SoSafe. “Their leadership, experience, and shared commitment to sustainable growth perfectly complement our vision of giving people the ability and confidence to stay secure and thrive in a digital world.”
