The Managing Director of Fondia Plc's Swedish subsidiary is changing. Victoria Swedjemark has been appointed as the new Managing Director of Fondia Plc's Swedish subsidiary and as a member of the Group Management Team. She is set to take on her position by March 2, 2026, at the latest. In the meantime, Timo Lappi, the Group CEO, will act as interim Managing Director of the Swedish subsidiary. The current Managing Director of the Swedish company, Emma Ridderstad, will leave the Group Management Team as of today and transition to the role of commercial director of Fondia's new internal innovation platform, Lextopia, as commercial director.

Victoria Swedjemark (Master of Business Law, LL.M., Law, BBA, b. 1974) has a very diverse and strong background in business, law and management. She has held top management positions in several international companies, such as Tele2 and Björn Borg, where she has played a key role in driving digital and cultural transformation initiatives. Victoria has led teams, participated in corporate restructurings and IPOs, and been part of building strong corporate cultures. She also has extensive experience from consulting in the legal domain as well as business development and technology projects, most recently as the Head of Legal Operations & Legal Transformation Services business area at KPMG, a growth area for the firm. Victoria is known for her strategic thinking, customer-centric approach, and ability to lead change and build successful teams.

"I am truly excited that we are getting Victoria to lead Fondia's Swedish subsidiary. Her strong leadership skills and diverse experience in business development bring us exactly the expertise and energy we need to achieve our next growth phase in Sweden. I believe that under Victoria's leadership we will be able to strengthen our market position and build an even more successful team," says Timo Lappi.

"It is a great pleasure and honour to join the Fondia team and to lead the Swedish operations. Fondia's values, culture and ambitious growth targets resonate strongly with my own values and experiences. I look forward to working with the skilled team and to building Fondia's next success story in Sweden together," says Victoria Swedjemark, incoming Managing Director of Fondia Legal Services AB.

I also want to thank Emma Ridderstad for all the new kinds of commercial creativity she has brought with her to Fondia since joining us in 2024. Her enthusiasm and vision for the development of legal technology and artificial intelligence has been inspiring to us. Emma has played a crucial role in the design of Lextopia, and we look forward to seeing how her expertise will take this new project forward," says Timo Lappi.

Following the change, the Fondia Group Management Team will be as follows:

• Timo Lappi, CEO (and interim Managing Director of Fondia Sweden until 2 March 2026 at the latest)
