Summary
Martin Holmin is a senior engineering and product leader who heads Core Platform development at Ahlsell, steering the digital backbone that powers logistics, procurement, ERP, finance and master data across Nordic operations. With 25 years of hands-on engineering and executive experience—including CTO roles in fintech and ecommerce—he combines platform thinking, commercial trade-offs, and hyperscaler-agnostic cloud architecture to turn platform investments into measurable outcomes. He pioneered Ahlsell’s internal engineering from scratch, introduced event-driven architectures with Kafka, and embedded AI Engineering and LLMs into the software delivery lifecycle to improve developer productivity. Currently he’s building a scalable agentic AI platform based on Model Context Protocol to let teams ship new use cases without friction, reflecting his ongoing focus on how established businesses can adopt AI without breaking core systems. Martin’s background ranges from studio audio engineering and early internet networking to founding a hosting/software business, an uncommon path that fuels a pragmatic, multidisciplinary approach to technology and organisational change.
