Ranplan appoints new CSO and commercial operations director

Ranplan Group AB has appointed Jon Ullmark, a specialist in the field of IoT and automation, as its chief strategy officer (a new position), effective from 1 September. Earlier this week, Ranplan also announced that it has recruited Anthony Sutton to the newly created role of commercial operations director.

Ullmar joins Ranplan from Hoylu where he was its deputy CEO and general manager for EMEA. He has previously held senior leadership roles at Semcon (area manager), C Security Systems (CEO) and Pilotfish Marine (Acting CEO).

"A recognised expert tasked with the commercialisation of artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation, Jon comes on board at a defining moment for Ranplan,” said Per Lindberg, Ranplan Group AB’s interim CEO. “We are now most evidently taking steps in the development of our organisation to help our customers unleash the full potential of 5G, characterised by cloud-native solutions, open interfaces and embedded intelligence, paving the way for the complete integration of our state-of-the-art components within the realm of customers’ network managing systems."

Turning to Anthony Sutton’s (pictured right) appointment as commercial operations director, he will be based in Cambridge UK and his remit will cover all the company’s global commercial activities,
