Columbus, a leading company in digital commerce and IT services, takes another significant stride forward with the hiring of two experienced professionals who bring extensive expertise in driving projects within the retail sector. These two new additions, Mattias Pihlström and Samuel Sapire, bring a blend of consulting and operational experience, becoming a catalyst for Columbus' ongoing commitment to retail in Sweden and Northern Europe.
Mattias and Samuel both joined from HiQ, where they were responsible for the company's offerings in Digital Commerce. Mattias has prior experience as an entrepreneur and Managing Director for Accenture Interactive and Brightstep. Similarly, Samuel possesses a comparable profile, having previously built and held the role of COO at Angry Creative. Initially, they will assume the roles of management consultants with a specialized focus on the retail industry.
"We are proud that Mattias Pihlström and Samuel Sapire have chosen to join us. They bring substantial industry experience and complement the rest of the team exceptionally well. Supporting our clients in their digital transformation is Columbus' guiding principle, and I am fully convinced that both existing and new clients will benefit from their expertise and ability to serve as a source of inspiration in change projects," says Dan Andersson, Head of Strategy & Solution Director at Columbus.
"I look forward to creating added value for our customers."
We live in a time where investments in IT-led change are increasing, and e-commerce businesses rapidly need to adapt to meet their customers' consumer behaviors. Technological initiatives have also led to Columbus winning several new contracts, including the implementation of business systems for renowned brands such as KappAhl, Fenix Outdoor, Devold, and Bang & Olufsen.
"This success reaffirms Columbus' expertise and ability to provide tailored solutions that address the complex reality faced by modern retail operations. I look forward to continuing to create added value for our clients," says Mattias Pihlström, Management Consultant.
"Naturally, we will continue to strive to be a premier partner, helping progressive retail companies prepare their operations for the future," says Samuel Sapire, Management Consultant.
