This is one of a number of key changes to Locatee’s leadership team to fully seize the current opportunity in the accelerating workplace analytics market.  

“The next stage for Locatee needs heightened focus from the company’s leadership, and together with the board, we decided that Myriam and I should take over executive duties,” said Köppel. “I am proud to have brought this vision to this stage together with my co-founder, and I am thankful to Thomas for his leadership and friendship along the way.”

Thomas Kessler has stepped down from his CEO position to focus on his role as a member of the Locatee board of directors providing market insight, expertise and thought leadership in the workplace technology market. Kessler led the creation of Locatee together with Benedikt Köppel, and has guided the company with a sound vision during the last seven year through the early stages towards growth. 

As co-CEOs, Locher and Köppel combine their product and revenue expertise. They steer Locatee to serve its global customer base following key principles: providing new, innovative, technology solutions to cater to a growing demand for workplace solutions, thereby positioning the company to stand out to investors in the proptech market.
