Qt Group has made its interim CFO Ann Zetterberg the Finnish software company's permanent chief financial officer less than three months after entering the role.

Zetterberg has served as interim CFO since January 2026 following the departure of former CFO Jouni Lintunen and is now confirmed as a permanent member of the management team, Qt Group said yesterday.

Besides the addition of Zetterberg, Qt Group has hired three management team members this year, involving fields such as sales and software systems, based on Listeds data.

Zetterberg brings extensive experience from finance leadership roles in technology-driven companies. Before joining Qt Group, she was the CFO of Qt Group's Swedish subsidiary, IAR Systems Group, starting in 2021. Her earlier roles include CFO positions at Brighter and Accent Equity Partners, alongside experience in technology start-ups and the non-profit sector.

Qt Group develops software tools used globally to build applications and embedded systems. In its latest results, the company reported 2025 net sales of EUR 216.3 million, up 3.5 percent, while profitability declined due to acquisition-related costs and higher expenses.

“Ann has had a positive impact during her interim period, and I am very pleased to welcome her permanently to the management team,” said President and CEO Juha Varelius. “Her experience in strengthening financial processes and supporting growth will be a strong asset for Qt Group.”
