Configura has announced the appointment of Steven Jenkins as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Jenkins succeeds Stefan Persson, whose leadership helped guide Configura through a period of continued growth, platform development, and expansion across its global network of users.
Jenkins is poised to carry Configura into its next chapter. His connection to Configura dates to the early stages of his career, when he joined the company as a developer and went on to hold numerous roles across the organization, culminating in a position on the Executive Management team. During his previous tenure, he developed broad experience across Configura’s technology, products, industries, and collaborative environment. After several years serving in executive leadership positions outside the company, Jenkins now returns to lead Configura in its next phase of growth and innovation.
“Configura is where my career began, and returning feels both meaningful and energizing,” Jenkins said. “I’ve carried with me the lessons, relationships, and experiences from my time here throughout my career. The community that surrounds Configura, our users, manufacturers, and partners, is truly unique, and it’s a privilege to be part of it again. I look forward to leading the team through this next stage of the journey.”
Jenkins will continue the successful path on which Persson guided Configura. During his tenure, Persson strengthened the company’s strategic direction while deepening its commitment to collaboration and long-term innovation. Persson led Configura with a steady, people-focused approach, earning the trust of users, partners, manufacturers, and employees across the Configura global ecosystem.
“Stefan stepped into Configura’s world with curiosity and humility, quickly building strong relationships across a complex and evolving industry,” said Peter Brandinger, Managing Director, NA. “He brought thoughtful leadership, genuine care for the company, and deep respect for the people and partnerships that define Configura. We are grateful for his contributions and wish him continued success in his next chapter.”
Jenkins emphasized continuity alongside forward momentum as he assumes leadership. With Jenkins at the helm, Configura will continue focusing on advancing its platforms that connect design, configuration, and commercial workflows across multiple industries globally, while supporting the collaborative community that drives its success.
“There is a strong foundation in place and a team that knows how to build together,” Jenkins added. “I’m grateful to Stefan for his leadership and the care he has shown this company and its people. I look forward to strengthening our technology and continuing to move the platform forward in ways that support and empower this ecosystem.”
