Spir Group is gearing up for growth and making changes to the management team. -We are gearing up the digitalization rate in public sector and the real estate industry, says Group CEO Per Haakon Lomsdalen.
From the beginning of June, the CEO of Spir Group's subsidiary Boligmappa, Erling Olaussen, will transition to a newly created role in the corporate management team as Chief of Strategy and M&A. He will be in charge of Spir Group's strategic direction and acquisitions moving forward.
"Through innovation and acquisitions, we will create growth. Spir Group has a clear ambition to strenghten our position as a leader in the Nordic region within property technology and digital solutions for public sector," says Olaussen.

I have always enjoyed working at the intersection of technology and business, focusing on helping customers with digitalization and cloud technology.
