VMRay was founded in 2013, by two early pioneers in automated malware analysis and detection technologies.
Dr. Carsten Willems
CEO / Co-founder
Carsten Willems is a world-renowned cyber security expert and pioneer in the field of malware sandboxing. Carsten earned a master’s degree in computer science from RWTH Aachen University, and a Ph.D. in cyber security from Ruhr University Bochum. His academic work has been honored with multiple awards, and he continues to lecture on computer science at his former alma mater. Carsten also serves as a cyber security and digitization advisor to the federal state government of North Rhine-Westphalia (Beirat Digitale Wirtschaft Nordrhein-Westfalen).
Entrepreneurial by nature, Carsten founded his first company in 2007 when still at university, developing and taking to market CWSandbox, a radical new approach to malware detection. He successfully sold the company and subsequently engaged in several new ventures.
Today, Carsten is CEO of VMRay, a Germany-based cyber security company that offers industry-leading technologies for advanced threat protection. With Ralf Hund he co-founded VMRay in 2013, turning their academic research into solutions that help organizations protect themselves against sophisticated and targeted cyber attacks. Carsten led the company’s growth from early days to its present expansion into global markets, winning the support of leading VC investors, and successfully closing VMRay’s Series B funding round.
Dr. Ralf Hund
CTO / Co-founder
Ralf achieved his Ph.D. in computer science / IT-security at the Ruhr-University of Bochum in 2013. During his studies, he focused on new analysis methods for software binaries, with a strong focus on malware. His findings were published and presented at many leading academic IT security conferences and received several awards for outstanding work.
Furthermore, Ralf has been involved in the design and development of several sandbox technologies. He has experience in malware research for more than 10 years and is an active speaker at various academic and industrial conferences. His special interests lie in virtualization techniques and its application to software analysis.

What stands out about VMRay as an employer?
Why is working flexible important to you?
At my last job I had to wake up at a specific time every day, no matter how I felt. I had to hurry up after work to get to doctors’ appointments or had to take a half day off to take care of private matters and was not able to relax. It was not only stressful but also often unproductive because I was forced to work at certain times.
Flexible working hours and also the possibility to work from home are two important factors for balancing my work and private life, especially now as a mom.
When there is a busy day filled with lots of different tasks, I am able to work during my daughter’s nap time or in the evening when she is already sleeping.
I appreciate this flexibility enabling me to be more productive at work and less stressed in my private life. It also allows me to pursue my career and enjoy being a good family manager at the same time.
Flexible working hours are more than just a phrase at VMRay. We can decide when we work best and schedule our working hours accordingly. Some of my colleagues like to work during the same hours every day, while others prefer to be more flexible with their working hours.
At VMRay, both options are possible. Of course, our working schedule always depends on our position and the amount of meetings we need to attend. However, there is always the possibility of starting work later or leaving earlier to take care of a private matter. I would say we have a give and take mentality at VMRay that makes our way of working so efficient.
What tips do you have for using flexible working hours wisely?
Flexible working hours help us to be more productive because we can decide when we work best. When choosing your working hours model always keep in mind that you do not need to choose the same model as your colleagues just because it is working for them.
Everyone works different and everyone has different working hours in which they perform best. Also keep in mind to choose a model that supports your work-life-balance and does not require you to be available 24/7.
What is special about working in an international team?
People in an international team have diverse perspectives, and the flow of ideas is never-ending. More ideas improve problem-solving, thereby increasing the team’s productivity.
It is equally fun knowing different cultures; of course, you have more festivals to celebrate.
Which of your previous experiences are helpful in such an environment?
When did you start working for VMRay and what was your motivation to join?
I joined VMRay in July 2022, but I have been a Linkedin follower for quite some time.
VMRay’s technology for detecting malware is unparalleled, and I desired to join this team.
