Stockholm, Sweden, Dec 6, 2022, FossID is proud to announce the latest addition to the executive team in Daniel Forsgren. Daniel is a seasoned veteran in the software domain and will bring a wealth of experience to FossID in his role as Chief Technical Officer.
Daniel has held senior positions as VP Product Management, VP Product Strategy, and, most recently, as VP Corporate Development at Enea. During Daniel’s tenure at Enea, the company almost doubled its revenues, shifting from an operating systems based business to a wide range of software products for telecommunication and cybersecurity.
Prior to joining FossID, Daniel was instrumental in several small and large acquisitions, and his experiences from those transactions will bring valuable input to how the future FossID products and services will evolve. Daniel’s profound understanding of software and the software industry, in combination with his business mindset, makes him ideally suited for the position as CTO for FossID.

CTO and Co-founder.
Swedish scale-up FossID helps companies achieve maximum FOSS adoption efficiency through tools and services with industry leading levels of accuracy, performance, privacy and automation. Since its recent spin-out from Snyk in September 2022, the company has attracted new talent in the fields of R&D, Service delivery, and Sales, and continues to expand its products and services offerings.
I was compelled by the unique position FossID has in the marketplace, with a purpose-built offering for open source compliance and security, that resonates very well with any company that develops and distributes software. I look forward to stewarding FossID’s current strengths and optimizing new ones into a new era with new focus on reduced business risk and frictionless supply chains.
