Visma

Visma companies don’t secure their software alone. Whichever one you use, its software is backed up by a group-wide security team. Watching every system 24/7.

Visma companies don’t defend it alone. One security program, shared by all, awake around the clock.

Five years ago, a security incident like this would have triggered the same response everywhere: deny, deflect, and issue a statement about "safety being our highest priority." I don't think that playbook works anymore. And honestly, I don't think it should. In conversations with CFOs and CISOs across Europe, I hear the same thing again and again: they're not expecting zero risk. They're expecting a partner who responds fast, communicates honestly, and fixes things systematically when something goes wrong. The data backs this up: 79% of organisations now see mandatory incident reporting as essential to stakeholder trust. Transparency isn't a weakness to manage. It's becoming the credibility marker that separates real partners from vendors selling an illusion. I talk about why risk management isn't the brake on ambition, it's the infrastructure that lets leadership push the throttle with confidence. And why, across a group spanning 28 European markets, owning a mistake openly in one market can turn into protection for every other one. Perfection was never a realistic promise. Trust, built through transparency, is. Full piece below. https://lnkd.in/exDcTy5m

H1 2026, in numbers. 2.7 million customers. €3 billion ARR. 13% organic growth. EBITDA grew faster than revenue. That's scale making us more efficient, not just bigger. This is momentum, built to last.

Growth. Margins. AI, built in. Trust, compounding. That's not a wishlist — it's what H1 2026 looked like across Visma. Real numbers, built the same way we build everything: locally, market by market, backed by shared scale and capability. This is our momentum. And we're just getting started.

We own business software companies. And shape them into market leaders.
