FlightLogger Announces Appointment of Kasper Valgren as Chief Executive Officer
FlightLogger today announced the appointment and promotion of Kasper Valgren, from VP of Revenue to Chief Executive Officer. Kasper succeeds Mads Larsen, who will transition into an advisory role and continue supporting the company, its customers, and its long-term strategic direction.
The leadership transition comes as FlightLogger enters a new phase of growth and accelerates its vision to become the operating system for flight training organizations worldwide.
For more than a decade, FlightLogger has helped flight schools modernize operations through software purpose-built for the unique needs of aviation training organizations. Today, the platform supports training management, scheduling, student progression, instructor coordination, compliance, financial operations, safety processes, fleet oversight, maintenance planning, and customer engagement for flight schools across the globe.
Under Arcadea Group’s ownership, FlightLogger has significantly expanded its investment in product development and is executing a long-term roadmap to build the operating system for flight training organizations.
The company is investing across training management, student engagement, scheduling, financial operations, safety management, fleet oversight, aircraft tracking, maintenance, continuing airworthiness management, AI-native workflows, and agentic capabilities designed to help customers automate routine work and focus more of their attention on training outcomes, operational excellence, and safety.
FlightLogger believes the future of enterprise software lies not in systems of record, but in systems of action: platforms that actively help organizations operate, coordinate, and improve their businesses. The company’s long-term vision is to bring that future to flight training organizations worldwide.
“Kasper is the right leader for this next chapter of FlightLogger,” said Paul Yancich, Managing Director at Arcadea Group. “Having served as FlightLogger’s VP of Revenue, Kasper brings a deep understanding of our customers and the challenges they face every day. He brings the leadership, customer focus, and operational expertise required to help realize our vision while staying true to what has always defined FlightLogger: helping flight schools reduce complexity, improve safety, and focus on training the next generation of pilots.”
Kasper added: "Over the last several years, FlightLogger has established itself as one of the leading software platforms serving flight training organizations globally. The opportunity ahead is even larger.
We believe the market is moving toward a unified operating platform that connects every major workflow across a flight training organization. At the same time, advances in AI and agentic technologies are fundamentally changing what software can do for customers.
The next generation of software will not simply act as a database or workflow tool. It will increasingly help organizations execute work, coordinate activities, and make better decisions. We believe FlightLogger is uniquely positioned to lead that evolution within aviation training.”
Mads Larsen, who will continue supporting FlightLogger in an advisory capacity, expressed confidence in the company’s future and in Valgren’s leadership.
“FlightLogger has never been better positioned than it is today,” Larsen said. “The company has a strong team, an ambitious product roadmap, and a tremendous opportunity ahead. I look forward to supporting Kasper and the organization as FlightLogger continues executing on its vision.”
