Swedish SaaS company NetSymphony continues to strengthen its core team. Simon Garpedal joins in May 2026, bringing extensive hands-on experience from some of the Nordics’ most demanding enterprise network environments. He will play a central role in the upcoming launch of ChangeGuard and the company’s first customer pilots in the German market.
ChangeGuard is a modular tool for automated change management in networks, co-funded via NCC-SE at the Swedish Civil Defence Agency (Myndigheten för civilt försvar, MCF). Simon Garpedal has broad expertise in networking, cybersecurity and large enterprise environments. He has held senior network positions at major Nordic retail companies and at Netsafe, a Cisco-specialized consultancy that later joined Conscia Group. His background includes working in environments where multiple leading network and security vendors must interoperate — a scenario well aligned with NetSymphony’s vendor-neutral platform.
“Simon has worked in precisely the kinds of environments NetSymphony is designed to solve: large networks, multi-vendor landscapes, high security requirements and manual processes that no longer scale. His experience from a leading security vendor is especially valuable now as we launch ChangeGuard and expand the platform with additional automation and AI capabilities,” says Dennis Jansson, CEO of NetSymphony.
In his new role, Simon Garpedal will work with customers that need to standardize, automate and govern network environments where multiple vendors and technologies coexist. He will also serve as a bridge between customers’ operations teams and NetSymphony’s product organization, ensuring practical requirements translate into effective product enhancements.
“When I saw how NetSymphony addresses the challenges I regularly encounter with customers, I wanted to join the team immediately. Many organizations have built complex network environments where maintaining control becomes increasingly difficult over time. NetSymphony tackles that problem in a very concrete and effective way,” says Simon Garpedal.
