HELSINKI, October 22, 2026

STRGY AI, the Helsinki-based company behind StrategyOS, the enterprise agentic platform for strategy execution, today announced the formation of its Advisory Board. Having emerged from stealth this summer, the company is bringing together senior executives from leading organisations such as Deutsche Telekom and Uniper. The board was formed through the EEX Journey, a programme run by Entrepreneurship Exchange (EEX) in which senior leaders from Europe’s largest corporations lend their experience to high-potential startups and learn by building alongside them, in STRGY’s case at the frontier of AI.

The Advisory Board brings operating experience from inside large, complex organisations, spanning enterprise technology, industrial operations, commercial strategy, product leadership, and the energy transition, as STRGY prepares for the official launch of its product in the coming weeks and scales its platform with enterprise customers across Europe.

The founding members of the Advisory Board are:

  • Dr. Chathurangi Wickramasinghe, SVP Magenta API Capability Exposure, Deutsche Telekom
  • Dr. Patricia de Lange, Manager, Commercial Strategy, Uniper
  • Johan Swarts, EHS / HR Director, Parts & Services Division, Sandvik Mining
  • Timo Eskola, Marketing & Sales Manager, Distribution Solutions, ABB Oy
  • Manuel Maier, VP, Product Area RideCare, Bosch

“In a large organisation, strategy succeeds when it shapes the decisions teams make every day. AI agents can help connect strategic priorities with execution, improve decision-making and accelerate progress, but clear accountability and human oversight remain essential. That is what excites me about STRGY’s StrategyOS: its ambition to help organisations turn strategy into measurable outcomes.”

Dr. Chathurangi Wickramasinghe, Deutsche Telekom

“Every one of these advisors has lived the hard part of strategy, making it happen inside a large organisation, not just writing it down or even worse hallucinating it. That’s exactly the experience we want around the table as we scale StrategyOS, where AI agents bring cadence and certainty to the gap that can exist between strategic courage and strategy execution.”

Samuli Bäck, Co-founder & CEO of STRGY AI

“What makes an advisory board valuable is the two-way street. STRGY is a brilliant example. Experienced corporate leaders know first-hand how tough corporate strategy work can be, which helps to guide STRGY in the right direction. In return, they challenge their own strategic practices and hopefully bring more agile approaches back to their organisations. Here, an AI-driven approach meets a diverse group of seasoned human decision-makers.”

Tapio Peltonen, Founder & CEO, EEX
