Meet Spread Group’s New CEO

After ten years as our fearless leader, Philip Rooke has passed the torch to Dr. Julian de Grahl. Here’s your first introduction to our new CEO!

In the beginning of April 2021, Dr. Julian de Grahl officially joined Spread Group as CEO. Julian studied law and economics (business administration) in Hamburg and Cape Town.

Previously, he’s worked in management roles for companies like CTS EVENTIM, XING, amiando and New Work SE. With 20 years of experience in the internet industry, we’re glad to have him and his expertise on board. While having a new CEO is exciting, we also want to thank Philip Rooke for his hard work and dedication over the years.

“Under Philip Rooke’s leadership, Spread Group has developed from a start-up to a highly profitable industry leader. I have great respect for this achievement. I am very excited to continue this growth trajectory together with a sensational team and to set new stimuli.” – Dr. Julian de Grahl, CEO

We’re looking forward to how Julian will continue to grow the Spreadshirt Marketplace and other Spread Group brands. Welcome to the team, Julian!

Of course, our platform is nothing without you, our talented Designers. Thank you all for being a part of our community!
