Ynvisible Names Michael Robinson CEO, Jani-Mikael Kuusisto SVP Ventures

Ynvisible Interactive Inc. has made a lot of advances and announced several intriguing projects in recent months. To further its gains, the company announced the appointment of Michael Robinson as its new CEO. Jani-Mikael Kuusisto is SVP ventures, and continues as vice chairman of the Board of Directors. 

With its latest successful round of financing, Ynvisible is implementing its plans to focus on speed to market for customer products and sustainable financial growth through its 2023 Transformation & Growth Strategy led by Robinson.

Kuusisto will help reduce the risk and uncertainty of emerging technologies and provide a new growth arena for Ynvisible through a 2025 Venture Partnership Strategy. Kuusisto was Ynvisible’s CEO from its reverse take-over in January 2018, and said that Robinson will be a key to further growth.

Robinson first worked with Ynvisible as a client. He served the company as an independent director from November 2019 to November 2020, and as COO starting September 2020. Before joining Ynvisible Interactive Inc., Robinson worked for more than 15 years with companies such as Hasbro Toys, Bliss World LLC, Colgate-Palmolive, and most recently L’Oréal USA.

As operations business development and open innovation lead for L’Oréal USA, Robinson centered on breakthrough and transformational technology scouting and strategy, business development, and blending business, design, and technology to accelerate and launch new packaging, products, and experiences. 

“As COO, Michael brought the organizational tools and leadership style essential to transforming Ynvisible from a start-up to a growth stage company. As CEO, he now focuses our strong multi-disciplinary team on near term business opportunities with current technology and manufacturing capabilities. The aim is to accelerate time to revenue and profitability,” said Kuusisto. 

“Our Ynvisible team has everything it needs to be successful through 2023 and beyond. Our continued success comes from our obsession with making it easy for our customers to develop, adopt, and plug-and-play our unique display technology to drive breakthrough product experiences for end-users,” added Robinson. 

“Ynvisible’s vision is to bring everyday objects and surfaces to life, benefitting people in a smart and connected world,” said Kuusisto. “There are vast blue ocean opportunities for printed electrochromic displays and systems based on printed electronics. Michael leads our operations to ensure customer success in near term business opportunities and gears our business for sustainable growth. As SVP ventures, I will engage with strategic partners and investors to chart the path into the future, to establish Ynvisible as a global leader in printed electronics.”
