Cindy Rubbens becomes head of HR at Blacklane

The start-up is also filling the position of Head of Communications. The two newcomers are to steer the start-up's growth in a controlled manner.

The chauffeur start-up Blacklane has appointed Cindy Rubens as Head of Human Resources. Her official title is Chief People Experience Officer (CPXO). Among other things, Rubbens will be responsible for growing the workforce as the company continues to expand. The start-up is currently located in 200 cities, but wants to grow in the future. Rubbens previously worked at Amorelie, Relayr and Sumup. "I'm looking forward to bringing my passion for HR to Blacklane and guiding the company through the next stages of development," says Rubbens.

In addition to Rubbens, Gudrun Hermann has also found a new role in the company and will become Head of Communications. Like Rubbens, she will report directly to CEO Jens Wohltorf and will be responsible for both internal and external communications. She comes from Treedom, a sustainability start-up. "It's a privilege for me to help tell this story and ensure that a strong communications strategy supports the company's growth and culture," says Hermann, looking ahead to her start.

Blacklane has existed since 2017 and operates a platform for chauffeur services. The start-up is headquartered in Berlin and most recently employed more than 400 people.
