Iver appoints Pär Fors as new CEO for the next growth phase

Iver Group (”Iver”) appoints Pär Fors as new CEO to accelerate growth and strengthen its position as a leading Nordic provider of next-generation cloud and infrastructure services. He joins Iver at an important phase of the company’s development, as demand for secure, robust and superior digital infrastructure is rapidly increasing.

Iver provides mission-critical IT infrastructure services across the Nordics. With offerings in cloud services, cybersecurity and AI-based infrastructure, Iver is well positioned to meet the high demand for secure and robust European technology services.

At the current stage in the company's development, Iver's top priority will be to continue scaling up the hybrid cloud platform and further develop its superior services for customers with high requirements for regulatory compliance, data storage and security.

– Our customers today operate in an increasingly complex environment, where data sovereignty, regulatory compliance and cyber threats are reshaping IT priorities. Iver has built a strong position in areas that are increasingly business-critical, especially in sovereign European cloud services and secure infrastructure. The recruitment of Pär Fors will further strengthen our ability to grow the business and seize this opportunity. Pär is a highly experienced and results-oriented leader with a proven ability to build high-performing, customer-centric organizations, says Bertrand Barthelemy, Chairman of the Board at Iver.

– I look forward to joining Iver at this exciting stage. The transition to European digital sovereignty is accelerating, and organizations are increasingly demanding cloud and infrastructure solutions that combine high performance with full control over data and regulatory compliance. Iver has already established a market-leading offering in this area. Now we are focused on scaling the platform and supporting more customers in running and modernizing their most business-critical applications, including AI workloads, in secure and compliant environments, says Pär Fors, incoming CEO of Iver.
