Fintech Farm Ltd strengthens its leadership team as Tom Dahlström takes on the role of CEO. Dahlström brings more than 20 years of experience from the financial sector. He has previously served as Chief Strategy Officer at OP Financial Group and currently sits on the Board of Directors of S-Bank.
Tom’s key mission is to take Fintech Farm to the next level by accelerating international growth and strengthening the company’s market entry offering for fintechs and financial services partners expanding into the Nordics and the euro area. This work is supported by Fintech Farm’s wider platform, including Digital Banking Academy.
The next growth phase will focus especially on the euro area. In addition to scaling go-to-market services, Fintech Farm will deepen its focus on the transformation of European payments, including resilience, new infrastructure and regulation, and the digital euro.
Fintech Farm founders Janne Salminen and Ola Sundell are excited about the appointment and will continue in their operational roles as usual.
“Fintech Farm has been in strong momentum and last year we achieved 40% growth and profitability. Bringing Tom on board is an opportunity to take the company to the next level and build something new and international,” says Janne Salminen.
Tom Dahlström sees the timing as ideal:
“I have known Fintech Farm for years, and I see a lot of potential. The demand for new capabilities and skills in the industry is significant, and especially in European payments there is a major shift underway. I’m excited to build the next phase of the company and help our partners move faster,” Dahlström says.
