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.
