Gothenburg, Sweden – June 26, 2025 – Fingerprint Cards AB (FPC) is pleased to announce the appointment of two distinguished new members to its Board of Directors following the company’s Annual General Meeting held on 24th June, 2025. The shareholders voted in favour of appointing John Lord and Carl Johan Grandinson to the board, marking a pivotal step in FPC’s evolution as it enters an exciting new chapter of innovation and strategic transformation.
Introducing Our New Board Members
John Lord brings over 25 years of leadership experience across global financial and technology enterprises. Beginning his career at Euler Hermes (1990–1995) and RBS Commercial Finance (1996–1998), he progressed to C-level leadership roles in GE Finance and Dun & Bradstreet UK & Ireland (2000–2007). Lord later served as Group Sales & Marketing Director at LBM Direct Marketing and then as Group Managing Director of GBG plc (2009–2016). In 2016, he founded and led TruNarrative as CEO until 2021, and currently holds chair and investor roles at Panintelligence, Relative Insight, and Engage PSG Search. His background in finance, risk, and SaaS—especially in identity verification—provides FPC with valuable strategic oversight in growing enterprise-facing biometric solutions.
Carl Johan Grandinson offers deep expertise at the intersection of technology, marketing, and operational scaling. With an MSc in Mechanical Engineering (KTH) and media/marketing studies at Stockholm School of Economics and Stanford, he began as TradeDoubler’s first employee (1999–2007), rising to Regional Director overseeing Nordic and Southern Europe. He then co-founded the award-winning Media Agency Tre Kronor Media (2007-2015) and later co-founded Glue Home (2015-2021), a smart-lock and InHome delivery platform company. Currently, he is working with growth equity investments in enterprise software companies as Founding Partner at Qvantea Capital (2021-).
Strategic Significance of Their Appointment
John and Carl Johan join FPC at a transformational time for the company. As FPC expands its solutions up the value chain, across embedded biometrics and secure access technologies, these new board members offer complementary strengths that will reinforce the company’s strategic capabilities.
John Lord’s global market insight and innovation leadership will bolster FPC’s go-to-market initiatives, especially in new verticals where advanced biometric authentication is in high demand. His experience guiding businesses through technological shifts aligns seamlessly with FPC’s vision for smarter, more secure biometric solutions.
Carl Johan Grandinson’s financial and strategic acumen will add critical depth to FPC’s governance and capital planning, supporting the company’s drive toward long-term sustainability and profitability.
