Lemonsoft Oyj’s CEO Kari Joki-Hollanti has decided to step down from the company's CEO position. Lemonsoft's founder Joki-Hollanti has acted as the company's CEO since 2018. Joki-Hollanti and Lemonsoft's Board of Directors have mutually agreed that Joki-Hollanti will act in his current position until 31 July 2023 and continue as Lemonsoft's Development Director and Board member, focusing especially on developing the competitiveness of the product family.

Jan-Erik Lindfors, who has served as the company's deputy CEO since 2021, will start as CEO of Lemonsoft on August 1, 2023. Before moving to Lemonsoft, Lindfors worked in the management team of Cargotec's Hiab division as VP, New Business Solutions and before that as VP, Strategy & Business development of HiQ Finland.

"On behalf of the entire Board, we would like to thank Kari for his very valuable contribution as the company's CEO and for piloting the company from its foundation to a strong growth phase. During the last five years during Kari's CEO tenure, Lemonsoft has developed enormously and achieved several significant milestones all the way up to the listing. As the company moves to a new strategic phase, the Board and Kari have jointly stated that now is the right time for a change of CEO. The change will be well managed as Kari continues in the company as Development Director and member of the Board", says Christoffer Häggblom, chairman of the board of Lemonsoft Oyj.

“Jan-Erik Lindfors knows the company well and has excellent qualifications to continue the successful implementation of Lemonsoft's growth strategy. Jan-Erik's know-how and experience in international IT and industrial companies will support Lemonsoft's growth into a significant Nordic software company", continues Häggblom.

"Lemonsoft has grown over the past 19 years into one of Finland's leading ERP companies. The company is on a steady growth path and has a great future ahead of it as a provider of a growing and developing product and service offering. We will continue active development of the company under Jan-Erik's leadership towards the next phase of growth", says Kari Joki-Hollanti.
