As of March 28th, 2025, Morpho, Inc. and Top Data Science employees have executed a share transfer in which the personnel acquired the majority of Top Data Science Oy shares. This change aims to further strengthen both company’s position in the growing AI and imaging technology markets.
Masaki Hilaga, the CEO of Morpho, Inc., states: “Since 2018, the two companies have continuously executed joint development projects based on AI and Imaging technologies that meet highly novel and diverse customer needs. This has enabled the creation of technology solutions that could not have been developed independently by the companies. Having achieved a certain degree of success, we have decided to transfer a portion of our shares of Top Data Science to the company and its employees, based on our judgment that this will contribute to the further development of both companies.“
At the same time, Kai Lehtinen, the COO of Top Data Science, has been nominated as CEO of the company. Kai’s comments: “I’m honored for the opportunity to continue contributing to the company’s success in the CEO role. Shun Hirai has done brilliant work in leading the company through a significant strategy change over the past two years. I’m more than happy to continue seamless collaboration with Shun also in the future. We are well-positioned to continue utilizing the market opportunities, and most importantly, to provide high value to our customers and business partners. This has been verified recently through multiple customer projects in Finland, Japan, and Germany in which our technology solutions have been taken to production successfully.“
Timo Keinänen has joined the company along with the share transfer and assumed the role of Chairman of the Board at Top Data Science. Timo has extensive experience in leading financial and business operations in international companies, including Trimble Solutions Oy in which he acted as CFO and managing director for nearly 20 years. “I’m excited to join Top Data Science and very grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the company’s success as the Chairman of the Board. Shun, Kai, and the team have done a fantastic job in executing the more focused strategy for the past two years. With the new shareholder structure, we are well-positioned to expedite our growth initiatives ahead.”
