HELSINKI, Finland, June 10, 2025 – Eficode has appointed Patrik Sallner as its new CEO. Patrik’s appointment follows Ilari Nurmi’s decision to step down as CEO after six years of leading Eficode.

At MariaDB, he focused on building relationships with major cloud providers, including Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and IBM. Over the past 20 years, he has run businesses with software development teams across Europe, Asia, and the US.

I am pleased to welcome Patrik as the new CEO at an exciting moment in our journey as we build on our strong foundation and accelerate our growth,” says Sebastian Inger, chairman of the Board of Eficode.
