Sanna Hildén joins VTT from Gofore, where as Chief People and Strategy Officer she has been responsible for the Group's people strategy and its implementation since 2019. She has led areas including employer brand, employee experience, culture and leadership development.

Mira Dahlman appointed as Gofore's People & Culture Director: thriving Goforeans best help its customers succeed. Mira Dahlman has been appointed People & Culture Director of the Gofore Group as Sanna Hildén moves to VTT to take up the role of Chief People Officer. In her new role, Dahlman will be responsible for developing leadership, competence, and employee experience, as well as for human resources and recruitment. She previously held a corresponding role in Gofore's business in Finland. "Gofore has boldly set out to pursue growth in new industries, while our organisation has also undergone change. It has been rewarding to support this transformation in the Finnish organisation, and I am delighted to continue that work across the Gofore group. People and culture are at the very heart of what we do. I am excited and proud to take this work forward," Dahlman says. According to Dahlman, business success and positive employee experience go hand in hand. Clear goals support wellbeing, and when people feel well and want to give their best, it creates a virtuous circle that carries the organisation through challenging times. One of the key near-term topics for Dahlman's team is AI, which has already changed the work of both consultants and the Group's corporate functions: how Goforeans can build their AI expertise together, how everyday workflows should evolve in an agentic world, what skills will be needed in the future and, above all, how Goforeans can support clients in their AI transitions Dahlman believes it is equally important to recognize the human dimension of this phenomenon, both at Gofore and in client organisations "There is already a sense of AI fatigue, and people are wondering, for example, what will happen to their own roles. I hope Goforeans will discuss these questions openly with each other and with our customers. When we talk about AI, it is important to talk about emotions and people's everyday experiences, too. What sets us apart from purely technology-focused consultancies is that we help our clients not only adopt AI and agentic ways of working but also achieve the necessary change in thinking and behaviour," Dahlman says. A people-centred culture and meaningful projects attract talent. The IT industry is still competing for experienced professionals. According to Dahlman, Gofore's strengths as an employer are its people-centred culture and strong spirit of collaboration. These are qualities for which the company is known and which are repeatedly highlighted in feedback from candidates. "Many new Goforeans say they had not expected the collaborative spirit to be so genuinely strong," Dahlman says. Perhaps the company's most important attraction, however, is the meaningful nature of the work and the opportunity to take part in inspiring client projects. Gofore helps its clients, for example, to modernise industry, advance the digitalisation of public services, and strengthen defence capability and internal security. "We often work with clients and projects on a different scale from many other companies. Building industry based on data and services, delivering projects in the defence, security and space sectors, creating smoother private and public services, and improving accessibility are genuinely meaningful issues for many people. That attracts talent," Dahlman says. Dahlman also considers it important that Gofore is prepared to discuss challenging workplace topics openly, including mental health and the cognitive demands of knowledge work. These issues are particularly important in the age of AI. A change management professional. Dahlman holds a Master degree of Social Sciences from the University of Helsinki, where she majored in social psychology. Earlier in her career, she worked in various communications roles at companies including Nokia and Hewlett-Packard. From 2008 onwards, she helped build CCEA, a company specialising in change management, as its first employee, partner, and a consultant Dahlman joined Gofore through acquisition in 2021. Since then, she has held leadership roles in Gofore's change management service area and led the company's internal transformation in line with its current strategy and supporting organisational model People, culture, change management and renewal have been the common thread throughout Dahlman's career Outside work, Dahlman spends time with her family, including her spouse, teenage twin daughters and their dog, in the Salo archipelago. Pilates, gym training and yoga are important ways for her to recharge.

Gofore Plc's Business Review for June 2026: Net sales 19.6 million euros. 13.7.2026 09:29:59 EEST | Gofore Oyj | Other information disclosed according to the rules of the Exchange Gofore Plc Other information disclosed according to stock exchange rules 13 July 2026 at 9.30 am EET Gofore's net sales were 19.6 (13.2) million euros in June 2026. The 12-month pro forma net sales were 231.0 million euros. At the end of June, the Group employed a total of 1,878 (1,390) people. CEO Mikael Nylund: "June net sales reached 19.6 (13.2) million euros. Organic growth compared to last year's June was 11.1 percent, and organic growth for the second quarter will reach 1.8 percent. There was one more working day in June than last year, and the utilisation rate remained steady compared to May. Subcontracting capacity was lower than in other months, as is typical for the summer season. June included important successes in its key areas of expertise as well as a strategic decision regarding its focus on them. In terms of sales, the most significant win was the extensive four-year framework agreement for IT expert services within the administrative sector of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, to which Gofore Plc were selected. The procurement by the National Land Survey of Finland includes the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Natural Resources Institute Finland, and the Finnish Food Authority. Each agency within the administrative sector that signed up for the procurement will make its own framework agreement. Gofore Plc participated in five out of six sub-areas in the tendering process and were selected as a supplier for all of them. The total value of these sub-areas is 255 million euros, of which Gofore's calculated share, based on dividing the total value by the number of suppliers, is 31.4 million euros. In June, Gofore Plc also secured entirely new type of work for a familiar client. Valtori selected Gofore for its testing consulting framework agreement for three years with a two-year extension option, as well as for the identity and access management expert services framework agreement for two years with two one-year extension options. The total value of these new partnerships for Gofore Plc is 11-13 million euros for the entire agreement period including optional years. The continuation of strong partnerships is at least as important as winning new business. The University of Helsinki selected Gofore Plc as one of four agile development expert partners for a four-year framework agreement, with Gofore's share amounting to around three million euros. In June, Gofore Plc announced that Gofore Plc had found a good home for its Product Design & Technical Documentation business. CoE Group will acquire this operation, which employs around 120 experts, once Huld's demerger is implemented. Its customers will continue to receive comprehensive services under the cooperation agreement signed with CoE Group. Once the transaction is completed, its impact on capacity will be reflected for the first time in the September business review. The transaction will also be addressed, where applicable, in the interim report for January-June, which will be published on 18 August 2026." Key Figures The numbers are unaudited.
