Commenting on the future of Techstep, new CEO, Børge Astrup says:

“Techstep has taken a position and built a growth platform that provides extraordinary value creation opportunities in the years to come.

What Techstep does, making work mobile, with all the benefits it brings to our customers, end users and other stakeholders, matters to a lot of people.

That’s why I joined the Techstep team as the company’s new CEO. We are improving the work lives of so many people, and we can make a lot of companies more productive, more profitable and more sustainable at the same time.

Techstep faces a truly exciting growth opportunity in the Nordics and Europe, and I look forward to capturing this together with our customers, our partners, the team, the Board, and not least our dedicated investors.

Techstep is in pole position to help businesses and people adopt and enjoy next generation mobility, and deliver substantial value to customers and end users. I look forward to using my experience from sales leadership and from developing and commercialising software and mobile services, as we now move forward to make work mobile at scale in an easy, secure, and sustainable way for more end users and companies.

To make sure we deliver growth, create stakeholder value and good returns to our investors, I believe it really boils down to some simple truths: Embrace digital transformation and deliver great user, customer, partner and employee experiences. And that is what we are going to do!”, says Børge Astrup, Techstep CEO.
