Witted Establishes Witted AIcorp to Accelerate Growth in AI and Data Business

Witted Megacorp is expanding its strategic focus on artificial intelligence and data. To meet growing demand and strengthen its position in this critical area, Witted has established Witted AIcorp, a new subsidiary in Finland. Mikko Kontsas, a distinguished professional with extensive experience and a significant track record in the fields of AI and data, has been appointed to lead Witted AIcorp.

Witted AIcorp provides clients with a broad network of top experts through an efficient operating model. This enables mutually beneficial collaboration where the client gets great professionals at a reasonable cost, and the professionals receive significantly better compensation than in a traditional employment relationship.

Witted’s roots are in two significant market disruptions: the experienced IT professionals drifting away from the traditional employment model and the ever-increasing need for digital development in companies. This same trend continues in the market revolutionized by artificial intelligence. Witted AIcorp offers employment models for advanced AI and data professionals to receive the best possible compensation for their expertise.

Mikko Kontsas, appointed as Business Unit Director, has a strong background in leveraging AI and data for business development. Throughout his career, Kontsas has coached hundreds of business leaders in utilizing data and AI and has served as the head of AI and data units in large consulting firms. In addition, he has experience from a successful exit as a growth entrepreneur in the data business.

“I am really excited to make Witted’s AI business the best-in-class in the Nordics,” says Mikko Kontsas. “I see tremendous potential in how we can help companies leverage the opportunities offered by AI and data. Witted’s operating model, which attracts top talent, creates an excellent foundation for this growth. Artificial intelligence has rewritten the rules of business. Witted is the one with the ability to help its clients win this new game.”

“The capabilities to leverage artificial intelligence and data in their own business are a necessity for our clients now and in the future. AI and data are revolutionizing efficiency, operating models, and redefining the cornerstones of digital business. Artificial intelligence has been on everyone’s agenda for some time now, but so far only a few organizations in Finland truly know how to utilize it,” states Teemu Tiilikainen, CEO of Witted’s Finnish country organization.
