Enento CEO Jeanette Jäger steps down

Translation: Original published in Finnish on 4/29/2025 at 8:00 am EEST.

Jeanette Jäger, CEO of Enento, has decided to leave Enento Group to pursue new opportunities. Jäger will leave her post on May 31, 2025, after which Elina Stråhlman, Enento's current CFO, will serve as interim CEO. Following the departure, the board will initiate a search for a new CEO.

Jeanette Jäger has been CEO of Enento Group since 2022. Enento's earnings development has been weak during Jäger's tenure, which has also been reflected in the company's share price. However, we believe that the challenges have been caused by external factors, such as the recession caused by rising interest rates in the company's main operating countries, Finland and Sweden. This has been reflected in particular in the demand for consumer credit information services, which has also been further exacerbated by regulatory and other structural changes in the Swedish market. Under Jäger, the company has managed to grow in business information services even in a more difficult market, and in this respect, we believe that the strategy has been well executed.

The new interim CEO, Elina Stråhlman, has been CFO of the Enento Group since 2019 and is therefore very familiar with the company. Stråhlman has also previously served as interim CEO of the company for a short period of time. We do not expect the change of CEO to pose any major challenges, but it will naturally create a certain discontinuity in Enento Group's investment story.
