Littlefish CEO to step down after 14 years
After nearly 14 years as the CEO of £70m managed IT and cyber security firm Littlefish, Steve Robinson is set to step down.
Robinson will hand over the reins to Ursula Morgenstern, who was most recently president of growth markets at Cognizant. Prior to this, she spent more than 18 years at Atos, where she held a number of leadership roles, including CEO of Germany and UK/Ireland, as well as leading the Business & Platform Solutions global technology division.
After conducting a short handover with Morgenstern, Robinson will continue to work with the business in an advisory role focused on commercial management and new business conversion. He will also retain a seat on the board.
Robinson has taken Littlefish from £1m turnover in 2010 to a current turnover of around £70m.
“It’s been extremely hard work, of course,” he said, “but it’s been a hugely interesting, fun, and rewarding journey made possible by the people of Littlefish, both past and present, who have enabled – and I hope also enjoyed and benefited from – our exceptional growth and successes”.
“I’m hugely confident that Ursula will take over the reins and continue to steer Littlefish on our ‘David vs Goliath’ mission against the usual suspects. I look forward to working with Ursula in the future, and hope to continue to play a part (if not slightly reduced now) in Littlefish’s future success”.
Morgenstern said: “I am excited to join Littlefish with its strong customer-centric culture at such an exciting time. The acquisition of Storm, continued investment in cyber security, and consistent strong performance in managed services, will allow us to further drive growth. I look forward to working with our talented teams in the UK and Ireland.”
