October 2025:
Localiser expands its management team
For over seven years, Localiser has been the leading German software solution for the automatic planning of charging infrastructure in the field of electromobility. Today, the company is active in 13 countries and is the only one in its industry with such broad international availability. More than 700 customers rely on Localiser's solutions to efficiently plan charging infrastructure and hydrogen management.
​
Thanks to years of profitable and independent growth strategy, Localiser is now expanding its management team to continue its successful course. From October 2025, Alexander Windt, previously Customer Success Manager, will take on the role of COO. Johannes Hofmann, previously Lead Developer, will become CTO. Oliver Arnhold will remain CEO, while Kathrin Goldammer, previously Co-CEO, will serve as Chief Advisor in the future.
With this newly formed management team, Localiser has big plans: evaluating 1.3 million charging points, visualizing dynamic utilization data, planning truck charging stations, connecting our customers in a targeted and automated way, and many more features.
Localiser thus remains independent, future-oriented, and, with years of expertise, ideally positioned to shape the infrastructure planning for electric mobility and the hydrogen economy in a sustainable manner.
