In recent years, Asolvi has grown to become the foremost provider of industry-specific field service solutions in Europe and Latin America.

Nick will be mostly working from Asolvi's High Wycombe office just outside of London. As part of his initial onboarding, Nick aims to embark on a series of engagements with customers, associates, and teams across all locations and markets.

"I'm keen to connect with the brilliant minds within the company and plan to spend my initial months 'on the ground' with colleagues in the UK, Norway, Germany, Spain and beyond. In parallel I am keen to start building relationships with our esteemed clients as their thoughts and feedback on our products and service quality remain the cornerstone of our operations," he states.

Nick is an experienced CEO and President with an extensive background from SaaS tech companies, most recently as CEO at the Edtech giant, EF English Live, where he managed a staff of 750 people spread across 4 continents. He has also spent 5 years working at McKinsey & Company mostly in the technology sector.

With a proven record of accelerating growth, leading change, and building successful SaaS businesses, Nick brings a deep understanding of the rapidly evolving technological landscape where efficient field service management is in high demand. Asolvi is well-positioned to capitalize on growing markets such as green energy and property security, while continuing to strengthen its market leadership in industries including alarm, fire & security, and workplace technology.

In response, Pål Rødseth shares, "I warmly welcome Nick on board, and thank the board for all these years of good partnership. After an extraordinary ten-year tenure as CEO, it feels natural to pass the baton to the next leader. This transition is both welcomed personally and for Asolvi. I convey my best wishes to Nick and the talented teams at Asolvi as they continue on their mission to reshape the future of field service management."
