Gofore's Chair of the Board Timur Kärki awarded Business leader of the Year 2024
Gofore’s Chair of the Board and co-founder, M.Sc. (Tech) Timur Kärki has today been awarded Business Leader of the year in an annual seminar of the Finnish business association (Suomen Liikemies-Yhdistys).
The jury that chose Timur Kärki as business leader of the year highlighted not only Gofore’s impressive business performance, but also the fact that Kärki has dared to shake up traditional leadership practices and to bring the spirit of modern, more open kind of corporate culture into his own industry as well as around it. The jury said Kärki also boldly discusses the pain points of the IT industry.
”Many thanks to the award jury and the association for showing me this tribute. Looking at the previous awardees, I quickly understood that at least the earlier awards have not been granted lightly. I accept this award with joy and great satisfaction”, Kärki comments.
Founded in 2002, Gofore has grown into a versatile international digital transformation expert company that is both growing and profitable. The company who employes over 1,400 experts in Finland and elsewhere in Europe has for long built a new kind of good working life for its employees. Gofore’s culture and values emphasise close collaboration between the company and its employees, low hierarchy and an inclusive discussion culture. The fact that Gofore’s Board of Directors invited an employee to the board for the first time in 2015 can be considered as an example of the transparent culture.
”Gofore is born out of an idea of a company that produces value around it in a sustainable way. I’m proud of both Gofore and all Goforeans who transform the Finnish society and business life into a better one together with our customers on a daily basis”, Kärki continues.
Business leader of the year Kärki is one of Gofore’s four founders and is currently Chair of the Board at Gofore, as well as board member in the Finnish Central Chamber of Commerce, Ilves-Hockey, Modulight, Navakka and Moovy. Kärki was as Gofore’s CEO in 2010-2019.
