Mika Röykkee to lead ED Design Ltd. — We are strengthening our position as the key strategic partner in design for our clients

The Scandinavian design agency ED Design Ltd has made changes to its Executive Team on March 01, 2019. Mika Röykkee has been named the new CEO of the company. Before ED Design, Mika Röykkee has worked in leadership positions at Nokia, Rovio Entertainment and Basware.

Röykkee states that in the future, ED Design continues to serve their clients with proven methods in heavyweight industrial & mechanical design. The company will, simultaneously, strengthen its service portfolio in both digital and strategic design.

– People often think of industrial design and software UI design as being separate entities. We seek to combine physical products, digital design and service design to one single, clear entity. At ED Design, we have a solid understanding of what our customers and – more importantly – our customers’ customers need.

Sami Pyörre, the previous CEO of ED Design, will continue his work in the company as the Chief Development Officer (CDO). He will be responsible for service and process development as well as developing the company’s digital business side.

– Throughout the years, we have developed our way of working into a powerful combination of physical design, service design and digital design. In the future, we strongly seek to form strategic design partnerships with our clients. We have unparalleled skills that help us predict and produce solutions that help our clients hold on to pioneering positions in their respective fields.

Markku Oksman has been named the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of ED Design. He will be responsible for the sales and marketing efforts of the company. Markku brings with him a wealth of experience in leading design efforts and managing product portfolios from his previous positions at Nokia, Microsoft, and of business design management from KleenU Oy and Yrityssalo Oy.

– ED Design leads the field in solving challenging use cases. I am bringing my wide network of contacts with me to ED Design to help the company grow along with our client base.
