Hyker Security welcomes Mats Karlsson as the new CEO of the company. Mats brings extensive experience in building companies within telecom, information security, and secure cloud storage, which will be a strong contribution to Hyker’s ambition to grow in secure digital information management.
Hyker currently offers a unique portfolio in Zero-Knowledge Encryption, Zero-Trust Access, and Confidential Processing. Former CEO Ulf Gerold has been a driving force in bringing Hyker to its current position, for which the board and main owners Saab Ventures and Lindeblad Ventures are grateful. The board and Ulf have agreed that Ulf will step down as CEO effective February 7, 2024, with Mats Karlsson taking over from the same date. Ulf will remain with the company and continue working on business development.
“We live in a world that makes it increasingly difficult for companies and organizations to manage, protect, and secure business-critical information,” says Mats Karlsson, new CEO of Hyker Security AB. “I am confident that Hyker, with its services and deep expertise in secure digital information management, will play an important role for many companies, businesses, and service providers when it comes to protecting critical information. I look forward to working with the team,” concludes Mats Karlsson.
“Myself and the Board would like to thank Ulf for the work he has done for Hyker during his time as CEO,” says Jonas Lundeberg, Chairman of the Board at Hyker Security AB. “We now look forward to the next phase of Hyker’s growth journey with the knowledge and expertise Mats brings from his previous experiences in secure information management and extensive experience in driving and developing SaaS companies.”
