New Leadership Appointments:
Spica Technologies proudly introduces two dynamic Managing Directors:
Paul Jones has been named the Managing Director for Spica’s UK operations, effective October 1, 2023. Paul’s exceptional contributions to Spica since 2016 as Chief Operations Officer, coupled with his extensive three-decade industry experience, uniquely position him to lead the UK operations.
Lynda Gillson assumes the role of Managing Director for Spica’s Sweden operations, effective October 1, 2023. Having embarked on her Spica journey as Chief Product Officer in 2015, Lynda’s profound industry experience and in-depth knowledge position her as the ideal leader to propel Spica Sweden towards innovation and expansion.
Notably, Spica Technologies will continue to benefit from the invaluable expertise of Tim Streather, the outgoing Managing Director, and Paul Collins, the outgoing Technical Director. They will remain actively engaged within the organisation, taking on roles as Senior Advisors. In these capacities, they will provide essential guidance and support to the Spica Technologies leadership team while also contributing to the strategic vision for the broader software landscape within Nordomatic.
