If Tech Community

This week, our Riga office welcomed Anders Nilsson, our CIO, and Paula Pylväs, who recently returned to If as CTO, for a conversation dedicated to getting to know the people behind the titles.

Hosted by Janis Kesteris, Head of IT Baltic, the event gave colleagues a chance to hear not only Anders and Paula’s views on technology, business, and the future of IT at If, but also the interests and experiences that shape who they are outside work.

And there was plenty to discover. From music and dancing to building things beyond the digital world, colleagues got to see a more personal side of both Anders and Paula, and a reminder that IT leadership is shaped not only by strategy and technology, but also by curiosity, personality, and the energy people bring with them.

Mixing light and serious conversation, musical performances, improvisation and a little competition over rebuses made the event feel very true to our Tech Community – curious, open, a little unexpected and built around people. 💙

Thank you, Anders and Paula, for spending time with us in Riga, and thank you to everyone who joined and made the room feel so alive.
