These changes are aimed at distributing responsibilities more effectively and ensuring that everyone in the company receives the support they deserve,” says Jaakko Kylmäoja, CEO of Fingersoft.

However, our goal is not merely to maintain the status quo but to achieve significant growth. The new organizational structure is designed to better support this ambition. We are confident in the abilities of our newly appointed Directors and look forward to the invaluable contributions they will make as we continue on our path to even greater success.”
