Implema will transition leadership as part of a planned CEO succession on April 1, 2026. Tobias Simolin has been appointed CEO, succeeding co-founder J\u00f6rgen Aronsson, who will step down after more than two decades as CEO. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Implema, med ca 300 medarbetare och en oms\u00e4ttning p\u00e5 en halv miljard kronor, har under det senaste \u00e5ret tagit flera strategiskt viktiga steg. Bland dem finns f\u00f6rv\u00e4rvet av CoreChanges SAP- och BI-verksamhet samt en etablering i USA. The CEO succession was initiated by J\u00f6rgen and carried out through a structured process led by the Board of Directors. Tobias, who currently leads the company\u2019s Business Transformation unit, has been appointed to lead Implema into its next phase. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe have built a strong platform over several years, built on close customer relationships and a clear ability to create business value. After more than 20 years as CEO, J\u00f6rgen expressed a desire to transition into a different role, and we jointly felt that this was the right time to move forward with the transition. We are now entering the next phase of the company\u2019s growth, with the ambition of building Implema into a SEK 1 billion turnover company. Tobias has already demonstrated both the commercial drive and the leadership required to lead Implema into this next phase,\u201d said Lars Wollung, Chairman of the Board of Implema. <\/p>\n\n

Well positioned for the next phase<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Tobias Simolin earned a degree from Lule\u00e5 University of Technology and brings extensive experience in the IT and consulting industry. He has held senior leadership roles focused on business development, growth, and complex transformation initiatives across both domestic and international markets. He joined Implema following the acquisition of parts of CoreChange and has quickly become a key member of the leadership team. Tobias assumes the role of CEO at a time when demand for digital transformation continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cImplema is in a very strong position. This is a company with a unique combination of entrepreneurial spirit, deep expertise, and a clear focus on creating business value for our customers. We will continue to strengthen our position as a leading provider in ERP and digital transformation in the Nordics. I look forward to continuing this journey together with our employees and customers,\u201d said Tobias Simolin, incoming CEO of Implema. \u201cNow we will continue to strengthen our position as a leading player in ERP and digital transformation in the Nordics.
