Düsseldorf, Germany – 31 January 2024

Daniel Fau, a respected figure in the TYPO3 community, took the helm of TYPO3 GmbH as an interim CEO in December 2022. In this short time, Daniel led the revival of the annual TYPO3 Conference (after a four-year hiatus) and undertook a fundamental revision of the TYPO3 Partner Program. Under his leadership, the company has seen substantial growth and progress, and overwhelming engagement from the community. 

Community-Centric Approach and Strategic Vision

Daniel Fau's vision extends beyond mere business metrics. He has emphasized a community-centric approach, focusing on increasing membership numbers, fostering collaboration, and ensuring maximum transparency. His article, Ein Jahr TYPO3, (English: One year of TYPO3) reflects his dedication to these principles, highlighting achievements such as the expansion of official TYPO3 partners and the increased participation in TYPO3 events and initiatives.

His first year as interim CEO was further marked by crucial initiatives, including a more robust financial foundation for TYPO3 GmbH, a surge in community engagement, and a successful navigation through the challenges of open-source funding. His dedication to transparency and inclusive decision-making resonates deeply with the TYPO3 community.

Olivier Dobberkau, president of the TYPO3 Association, commends Fau's appointment, stating, "After thorough consideration, the board is confident in Daniel’s continuing role as CEO. His commitment to fortifying our community and his reliable leadership are fundamental to realizing our vision. Under his guidance, TYPO3 is set to maintain a robust presence in the industry, blending our community values with strong market strategies."

As TYPO3 GmbH embarks on this new chapter with Daniel Fau at the helm for the next four years, the focus remains on continuous innovation, community engagement, and strategic growth.
