Stockholm, Sweden – November 11, 2026: epical, a Nordic data consultancy helping organisations grow their data into trust, has appointed Kimmo Kaskikallio as Chief Technology Officer. He will lead the company’s technology strategy, helping customers modernise their operations and unlock new opportunities through AI, data and automation, with security and trust at the core.
– Kimmo brings valuable experience from leading technology and business transformation in complex organisations. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in business operations, companies need more than innovative technology – they need the right foundations to scale it securely and responsibly. Kimmo will play a key role in strengthening how we bring our capabilities together to address these challenges, said Märit Sareyko, CEO of epical.
Kaskikallio joins epical from EY and has previously held roles at IBM, bringing experience at the intersection of technology strategy, enterprise transformation and business development. As CTO, he will connect epical’s capabilities across AI, data platforms, integration, identity governance, process automation and cybersecurity, helping customers build scalable digital solutions while maintaining control over their data and technology environments.
– What attracted me to epical is the combination of strong technical expertise and a genuine curiosity to understanding customers’ businesses. For me, the next phase of AI is not about adding yet another tool. It is about embedding intelligence into how businesses actually operate. That only works when the foundations are right: trusted data, solid integrations, strong security, and technologies that work together. This is where I see a real growth opportunity for epical: helping customers turn AI from experimentation into trusted value creation platform, says Kimmo Kaskikallio, CTO of epical.
Kaskikallio assumed his role in November. His appointment comes as organisations face growing demands to balance AI innovation with regulatory compliance, cybersecurity and digital sovereignty.
