Aiforia announced on Monday that it has appointed Antti Ojala as the company's new CFO and a member of the management team. In our view, Ojala seems to be a very suitable choice for Aiforia's CFO due to his long experience in the health technology sector and financial management. The news has no impact on our estimates.
The new CFO has a strong background in health technology
Antti Ojala is transferring to Aiforia from Aurevia Oy, where he served as CFO and was responsible for financial operations. Ojala has previous experience in financial management from health technology and diagnostics companies such as Mobidiag Oy. We consider Ojala's industry knowledge and experience with growth companies to be a valuable addition to Aiforia's management team. The press release highlighted Ojala's experience in leading strategic projects and investor relations, as well as his use of various financing instruments.
We consider financial expertise crucial in Aiforia's current development phase. The company raised 4.2 MEUR in gross proceeds through a directed share issue in December, and we estimate that the current cash will be sufficient until approximately Q4 2026. We have predicted that the company will need additional financing to implement its growth strategy in the coming years, so the new CFO's experience with various financing arrangements is important for the company.
During the tenure of the current CFO, Veli-Matti Parkkonen, Aiforia has successfully completed an IPO and an IFRS transition, and has raised additional funding through share issues. Ojala will start in his position by March 2, 2026, at the latest. Current CFO Veli-Matti Parkkonen will leave the company but will remain until March 31, 2026, to ensure a smooth handover of duties. The change appears controlled, and the transition period allows for a smooth handover. In our view, the news has no immediate impact on Aiforia's operations or our financial forecasts.
