Atte Kuusisto has been chosen to succeed Jukka Manner as CEO of Sparklike, according to a company announcement. Kuusisto will start as CEO on May 9.
Manner served as CEO for two years. He will continue working on a strategic development project for the company to explore the possibility of offering insulating glass measurement solutions as a service to various operators in the construction industry.
Kuusisto has experience in sales and sales management roles, as well as profitable business growth. He comes from the IT services industry, where he has worked for Hewlett-Packard, Cap Gemini and most recently CGI.
“I know that with Atte, we’ll get more momentum and energy to build Sparklike’s well-launched success story. As a company, we have unique measurement solutions, great global customers and, above all, a wonderful, committed and competent staff,” according to company officials in the release.
They continued, “The recent rise in energy prices has caused and will continue to put increasing pressure on improving energy efficiency and thus will also increase the demand on our solutions. The pressure exerted by the authorities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will also accelerate the construction industry's investment in better-quality construction. This is a great situation for Sparklike and our solutions. Globally.”
