Ouman Announces Departure of CEO Matti Lipsanen

August 14, 2025

We announce today that Matti Lipsanen, Chief Executive Officer of Ouman Group, will be stepping down from the position effective immediately. He will be succeeded by Ouman’s current CFO Heikki Uurto as interim CEO, who will assume duties today.

”On behalf of the Board of Directors and Ernströmgruppen I want to thank Matti for all his hard work and his dedication to building a better and stronger Ouman. We wish Matti all the best in his future endeavors”, says Magnus Thousgaard Terrvik, Chairman of the Board

Having dedicated over two decades to Ouman, Matti has chosen to shift focus and return closer to the sales discipline that originally fueled his passion and professional drive as an entrepreneur.

”It has been a fantastic journey for me to be part of building Ouman into what it is today. But all good things come to an end, and it is time for someone else to guide the company going forward, ensuring that Ouman, also in the future, is ’Saving Energy and Creating Comfort’ for all our customers”, says Matti Lipsanen

Ouman continues its stable operation while we start the process of hiring a new CEO. Heikki Uurto has extensive experience in Ouman and reiterates our optimism for the future. We have built a robust framework for growing despite turbulent markets, and we know the position of CEO of Ouman will be a highly sought-after one. The Board of Directors will immediately start a search for a new CEO, who can continue to build Ouman as a world-class company within Building Automation and Control Systems.
