Six Months as CEO: Reflecting on Progress and Looking Ahead

As I write this, it’s been six months since I stepped into the role of CEO on July 1st, 2025, taking over from our founder Jens Herbst. What an incredible journey it has been! 🚀 

A Time of Transformation 

These past six months have been nothing short of challenging – but in the best possible way. Taking the helm during a period of global market uncertainty could have been daunting, but instead, it’s been energizing for me in terms of watching exactly what happens. Why? Because challenges breed innovation, and innovation is what we do at WeSendit. 

From day one, I knew we had something special. Our active users across 180+ countries aren’t just numbers – they’re a testament to the trust people place in our platform. But trust alone isn’t enough; we need to evolve, adapt, and push boundaries. 

What We’ve Accomplished Together 

Enhanced Communication & Collaboration 

One of my first priorities was, to start improving how we communicate – both internally and with our incredible community. We’ve streamlined our processes, enhanced transparency, and created better channels for feedback. We just started the Implementation of the new communication – stay tuned.

Other Success Launches 

• WeSendit Podcast Series (May 2025): We launched our official podcast series – the next step in how we connect with our community. With 2 episodes per month, our podcast covers Tech Talks, Product releases and much more. 

• Advertising Platform (May 2025): We revolutionized how our platform generates revenue while keeping paid users ad-free. This wasn’t just about monetization – it was about creating sustainable growth. 

• Team Management (June 2025): Rolling out across Pro and Business plans, this feature transforms how organizations collaborate securely. We’re not just a file transfer service anymore; we’re a comprehensive collaboration platform. 

Strategic Partnerships 

Our partnership with OVHcloud as an Open Trusted Cloud partner has been a game-changer. But that’s just the beginning – we have several exciting partnerships in the pipeline that will expand our reach and capabilities significantly.

Decentralized Innovation 

Our node network has grown to 70 active nodes with 1,200TB total storage capacity. We’re not just talking about Web3 we’re building it, one node at a time. Want to dive deeper? Tune in to our latest podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcast, or YouTube.  

The Ideas Keep Coming 

What excites me most isn’t just what we’ve accomplished, but the pipeline of innovations we’re developing. Our team is buzzing with ideas that will reshape how people think about secure file transfer and digital collaboration. I can’t reveal everything yet, but trust me – we’re eager to role out all this stuff as soon as possible.  

Navigating Challenges with Optimism 

Yes, the global market has presented challenges. Economic uncertainty, changing user behaviors, and increased competition could have slowed us down. Instead, we’ve used these challenges as fuel for innovation. We’ve refined our focus, targeting the Media Industry, Agencies, and ICT Industries where we can make the biggest impact. This challenges not only by following the set Roadmap, it’s about being flexible and adopting new demands. This is one of the biggest challenges in the fast-moving digital industry today. 

Looking Forward 

As we head into 2026, I’m more excited than ever about WeSendit’s future. We’re not just growing – we’re evolving into something bigger, something that will define the next generation of secure digital Data handling. The full roadmap will be available soon. 

Our roadmap is ambitious: 

• Expanding our decentralized network globally 

• Launching new features 

• Strengthening our enterprise partnerships 

• Continuing to innovate in Web3 security
