CEO change at Presto
Presto today announces that Filip Bjurström has decided to step down from his role as CEO as of April 1st, 2025. We would like to express our deepest gratitude for Filip's fantastic work and leadership during his tenure as CEO. Under his guidance since January 2019, Presto has undergone an impressive journey, expanding from a Swedish active Fire safety company, quintuple in revenue with improved margins, to a significant full-service player across Europe.
At the same time, we are very pleased to welcome Staffan Pehrson as our new CEO, starting April 1st, 2025. Staffan has extensive experience from various industries and has held executive leadership positions at companies such as Ericsson, Nefab, and Anticimex.
“It has been a privilege to work on this remarkable journey together with all amazing Presto employees, the stars in Presto management team, Presto board of directors lead by Eckhard Cordes and Adelis team lead by Erik Hallert. Now, I am happily welcoming and handing over to Staffan, who I know will continue building on Presto’s successes with our important vision, saving lives together, as our business expands further into Europe and look forward to the future under Staffan’s leadership.” - Filip Bjurström, CEO of Presto Group.
"I am humbled by my new assignment and look forward to building on the success that Filip and the team have laid the foundation for. Together with the team, our customers and partners, we will continue to strive towards our vision, saving lives, together." - Staffan Pehrson, new CEO of Presto Group.
"I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Filip for his years of dedicated service and contributions to Presto. We are pleased to welcome Staffan, who will continue to advance Presto with the same passion and dedication. Furthermore, it is with great pleasure that we welcome Staffan as a new member of the board. We look forward to collaborating and achieving new heights together." - Eckhard Cordes, Chairman of the board, Presto Group.
