On 1 January 2024, Mrs. Eileen Walther took over the position of General Manager of Northwave Deutschland GmbH, servicing the DACH-region, from their base in Leipzig. In her new role, she will be responsible for the management of the cyber security provider for the entire DACH region.

A continuously growing team of over 30 German-speaking security specialists is available to customers at any time. 

Steven Dondorp, CEO of Northwave Group: "I am delighted to appoint Eileen Walther the role of General Manager DACH. She has already proven her extensive expertise in her previous position as Country Manager DACH. Her knowledge and experience in the field of cyber security make her the ideal candidate for this key position. I have full confidence in her ability to continue Northwave's success story in the DACH region." 

Eileen Walther, born and raised in the Netherlands, can look back on an impressive career. Before joining Northwave, she gained several years of experience with the Dutch Criminal Investigation Department, where she helped set up and lead the High-Tech Crime Unit. As a liaison officer, she worked closely with the Bundeskriminalamt (BKA).
