Anni Ronkainen appointed Chair of the Board of EWQ Zone Oy

Ronkainen has served as a member of EWQ’s Board since late 2024, when Evli Private Capital became the company’s largest shareholder. She has a strong understanding of the company’s business, operating environment and growth ambitions. EWQ’s near-term goal is to grow towards an annual revenue level of EUR 30 million. As the company grows, its leadership and governance structures are also being developed to meet future needs. Appointing a Chair from outside the company’s operational management supports this development. 

Ronkainen brings extensive experience in technology, digitalisation, the use of data and analytics, as well as business and leadership development. Her expertise supports EWQ’s ambition to develop its operations with a long-term perspective and strengthen its position in the Nordic region, where the company already has offices in Finland, Sweden and Denmark. 

“EWQ has a strong position in the digitalisation of retail and service environments and excellent conditions for continued growth. I am delighted to take on the role of Chair of the Board and to continue working together with the management team and the rest of the Board to build EWQ’s next phase of growth,” says Ronkainen. 

Stefan Svanljung, who is stepping down as Chair of the Board, will continue as a member of the company’s Board and remain actively involved in its day-to-day operations. The change will allow him to focus even more strongly on developing EWQ’s business and customer solutions. 

“It is great to welcome Anni as Chair of EWQ’s Board. Her extensive experience in digitalisation, customer experience, change management and Board work is a valuable addition as we continue to develop the company and build for the future. Anni has the full support of both myself and the company’s owners in her new role. I warmly welcome Anni as Chair and wish her every success in this important role,” says Svanljung.
