Timo Hyväoja, current UK managing director, will remain at the company, taking up a new senior role within its headquarters in Finland.

Teemu Moisala, chief executive, Futurice, said: “[Mitchell] has excellent commercial instincts, understands clients’ imperatives around delivering ROI and has a gift for bringing teams together to deliver successful products to market. Combined with a clear grasp of emerging tech and how it can accelerate innovation and business processes, he is ideally placed to lead our UK office.” 

Moisala added: “I’d also like to thank Timo Hyväoja, our acting MD in London for a fantastic job in leading the UK team over the past eight months.”
