The board of directors of Digital Workforce, the leading intelligent automation services company, has appointed Mika Vainio-Mattila, M.Sc. (Eng.), MBA, as new CEO. Former CEO Heikki Länsisyrjä, M.Sc. (Econ.), takes over the responsibility of customer deliveries.
Mika is one of the founders and has had a significant role in the company’s leadership prior to his new position.

Before founding Digital Workforce, Mika held several leadership positions at IBM and Mehiläinen during his long and international career.
Partner, Digital Workforce, Heikki Länsisyrjä, said:
“We founded Digital Workforce six years ago with Mika Vainio-Mattila and Jukka Virkkunen. During this time, we’ve grown from a start-up to a leading automation service provider internationally. Our clients are large organizations from different verticals, such as healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing. The pandemic has accelerated digitalization initiatives, and the use of automation is expanding more widely into different functions. Now it’s time to gear up for more growth, and Mika is the right person to lead our talented and increasingly international team and to renew our strategy.”
Chairman of the Board, Digital Workforce, Timo Ahopelto, said:
“Digital Workforce has become the market leader in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in its Nordic home markets. We are recognized globally as the company that leads the way in service innovation, vision, and business model in this space. The pandemic will open new opportunities, and Mika’s international strategy skills, deep customer understanding, and systematic leadership will help position us to exploit these.”
Mika Vainio-Mattila, CEO, Digital Workforce, said:
“New technologies and providers are continually emerging in our markets, and we will see more mergers and acquisitions. Our clients expect from us a vision for the future of automation, long-term partnership, and multi-technology solutions which enable fast and flexible deployment and measurable benefits. We have the best automation experts in the sector and a comprehensive range of scalable services which help our clients succeed. I look forward to building together further growth on top of these firm foundations.”
