Finnish software company Tieto, formerly known as Tietoevry, has looked within and found two interim managing directors for its business units, signaling the first executive appointments this year.

Johan Enger Nygaard, former managing director of Tieto Indtech, joins Tieto Tech Consulting as interim managing director on May 1, 2026, to accelerate the unit’s strategic transformation and performance uplift, while Bent Philipps steps in as interim managing director of Tieto Indtech effective the same date. Nygaard succeeds Pär Johansson, who will pursue opportunities outside the company, the software and digital engineering services company announced today.

Tieto operates through specialized software businesses—Tieto Caretech, Banktech, and Indtech—delivering industry-specific solutions, alongside its Tech Consulting unit, which provides advisory and implementation services across data, cloud, and AI. In the first quarter of 2026, the company reported revenue of EUR 448.3 million, down 3% organically, while adjusted EBITA margin improved to 14.7% from 10.6%, supported by strong performance in software businesses despite weaker consulting markets.

After recording as many as nine management team additions last year, the latest moves mark the first appointments this year, based on Listeds data.
