TimeLog walks the talk to boost maturity with new, internationally experienced CEO
Since 2001, the Copenhagen based software company TimeLog has been dedicated to maturing and optimising their customers’ business processes with founder Søren Lund leading the company.
Through the past 12 months, the company has turned focus inwards and are going through an intensive development to raise its own maturity level to new heights.
From the 1st of November, the company takes a major step in the transformation with the appointment of a new CEO, Per Henrik Nielsen, former VP in Ericsson.
”We do this because we know there are huge gains by working focused on heightening the maturity level in our company. We see it again and again with our customers”, Søren Lund explains the reasons behind the change.
”Since 2001, I have been on the journey from an entrepreneurial to an international company with 800 customers, more than 25,000 users and + 40 employees in three countries. It was time to reshuffle our team. With Per in charge, the team now matches TimeLog’s aggressive growth plans for the coming years.”
