Futurice announces new CEO to lead the company into its next phase of growth and international strategy execution
We are excited to share that Jonas Trindler will be joining Futurice as Chief Executive Officer, starting November 4, 2024. Jonas will take over from Simo Leisti, who will stay with the company until the end of the year to ensure a smooth transition and provide full support during the onboarding process.
This leadership change marks the beginning of a new chapter for Futurice, as we continue to expand globally, strengthen our market position, and push the boundaries of consulting in technology. With Jonas at the helm, we are set to accelerate our growth and achieve success in key international markets.
“We believe this is the perfect time to bring in fresh leadership that can leverage Futurice's current momentum,” said Tuomas Syrjänen, Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder of Futurice. “Jonas brings new energy, expertise, and experience in opening new markets to our leadership team. I am more optimistic than ever about the future of Futurice, with our exceptional talent, strong client partnerships, and the assets we’ve built for growth.”
I deeply believe in technology's potential to drive meaningful change. Futurice's unique culture of trust, transparency, low hierarchy, and challenging the status quo resonates with me. The company's and its each professional's dedication to client success through the seamless integration of business, technology, and people aligns perfectly with my own values and vision.
Going forward - with Futurice's strong roots in Finland and the Nordics and our ambitions set on global growth – we believe Jonas's experience in the DACH, UK and Asia-Pacific regions aligns perfectly with our strategic vision, which also balances our organizational gravity.
"Futurice has consistently shown its ability to innovate and adapt, with a track record of transformation and reinvention of its value propositions in existing and new markets – also during challenging market conditions. This, coupled with the broader potential of Futurice family companies, positions us perfectly for significant growth and global impact in the future", said Jonas Trindler.
Simo Leisti’s tenure as CEO has been marked by significant achievements. He led the development of a globally aligned operating model and sharpened our focus on data & AI expertise. These advancements have solidified our standing as a leader in digital transformation, helping clients deliver measurable business outcomes across the globe.
Additionally, under Simo’s leadership, we extended our Family strategy, launching five new companies over the past few years. This move represents a major milestone in our growth journey. Despite challenging market conditions, Futurice has stayed resilient, ensuring long-term success and continuity for our clients and partners.
“We are extremely grateful to Simo for his dedicated leadership and direction he provided during his tenure”, said Tuomas Syrjänen. “His contributions have laid the foundation for continued success and have positioned us well for the future.”
As we move forward under Jonas Trindler’s leadership, we remain committed to our mission: driving innovative digital solutions and supporting our clients on their digital transformation journeys. We are excited about what lies ahead and confident that this leadership transition will only strengthen Futurice’s ability to deliver exceptional value to our clients, partners, and employees worldwide.
