13.10.2022 08:00:01 CEST | SmartCraft ASA | Non-regulatory press releases

13 October 2022 - SmartCraft ASA has amended the Executive management team,
enhancing focus on scalability and synergies within sales and marketing, product
development and technology. Operations will now be organized according to
geography with strategic and supporting functions on Group level when it comes
to product and technology, marketing and finance." 

"The last years we have expanded massively through organic growth and 9
acquisitions in Norway, Sweden and Finland. We continue to target 15-20 percent
organic revenue growth with strong profitability and are now taking the next
step in the development as a leading provider of SaaS based services for the
construction industry. To have a holistic offering in the different geographies
and be able to coordinate and scale our activities we have amended and realigned
the organization with focus of each geographical market. Additionally, we have
established shared key functions on the group level. This will allow our team
and our services to function together even better. These changes are a natural
evolution as we grow and we believe there are significant untapped synergies
both in sales and marketing, product development and back office," said CEO of
SmartCraft Gustav Line. 

SmartCraft has appointed Country managers for Norway, Sweden and Finland, and
established a new central functional position as Chief Marketing Officer. 

Vivienne B. Karlsen has been recruited as Country manager for SmartCraft in
Norway and will take on her new position 1 December 2022. Karlsen has extensive
experience from leadership positions in several companies, most recently as
Managing Director in the HR service provider SD Worx Norway AS (previously
Aditro). 

"SmartCraft's ambitious growth strategy, the wonderful products, and of course
all the possibilities and untapped synergies we can create together - are all
very appealing to me. I am really looking forward to joining the team," said
Vivienne B. Karlsen.
