Stravito Appoints VP of Finance

Swedish collaborative insights platform Stravito has appointed Erik Lystedt as VP of Finance, as it gears up for its 'next phase of growth'.

Stravito helps large global corporations to store, discover and integrate market and consumer insights. The firm was founded in 2017 and currently has offices in Stockholm, London, Amsterdam and the United States. In April this year it launched Assistant an AI-based 'insights companion' aiming to helps users find answers faster and ask better questions. The software 'gently prompts' users to ask follow-up and clarifying questions to help them drill deeper and find the most useful and applicable information.

Lystedt (pictured) worked most recently as CFO of non-profit venture capital foundation Norrsken (founded by Klarna co-founder Niklas Adalberth), the largest ecosystem of impact tech entrepreneurs across Europe and Africa. Previously he was CFO of both NuvoAir and DPOrganizer; and Head of FP&A at iZettle (now owned by PayPal), where Stravito CEO Thor Olof Philogène had previously served as VP of Growth & Chief Revenue Officer.

Philogène says of the appointment: 'We're thrilled to further strengthen our leadership team with an experienced finance professional that will guide Stravito as we enter our next phase of growth. We are in a fantastic position with strong growth combined with a plan to reach cash-flow breakeven by the end of this year, and we look forward to navigating this next stage together with Erik'.
