Subscribe to our newsletter

Scila AB has announced a leadership change as co-founder Björn Thornquist takes over as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), effective immediately. After 17 years in the role, co-founder Lydén will step down from his position and transition into a new role as Senior Technology Advisor, focusing on hands-on technology development to continue driving innovation.

Thornquist, previously Chief Product Officer (CPO), has been a central figure in shaping Scila’s technology strategy and product development. He played a leading role in creating Scila Surveillance and Scila Risk, the company’s flagship risk management solution. Recently, Scila Risk achieved a significant milestone by replacing two legacy systems at a major participant on the Singapore Exchange with a single unified platform.

The transition is intended to ensure continuity in technical expertise while positioning Scila for further growth in market surveillance and risk management solutions.
