Stina Åkesson has solid experience in leadership and business development, including as CEO of AF-borgen in Lund, where she drove the business forward and developed one of the city’s most prestigious meeting places. She also has a solid history within Softhouse, Stina worked at the company between 2003 and 2009 – an experience that gives her a good understanding of the company’s culture and business.

Softhouse has over 300 employees spread across 10 offices in Sweden and Bosnia and a solid customer list where the majority of the customers have been Softhouse customers since the start in 1996. It was also in Malmö that the company was founded. The goal and ambition is to further strengthen its position within digitalization and software development in southern Sweden.
– Leading Softhouse in Malmö will be great fun. I really appreciate our down-to-earth culture with genuine commitment to software development and genuine interest in our partners’ digitalization ambitions. This is evident not least in the incredibly fine top five ranking we received in Radar’s customer satisfaction survey among consultant buyers. It will be so much fun to build on both our deep AI expertise and to be a competent overall partner to medium-sized companies in the region, says Stina Åkesson.
Softhouse Sydost’s former CEO Ola Persson will remain with the company during a transition period to support the new management.
– We would like to extend a big thank you to Ola for his significant contributions together with his colleagues in Malmö and wish him good luck in his future challenges, says Sara Mårtensson.
