Announcement

We are happy to announce that Kristjan Johannsson has been appointed as the new General Manager for LS Retail. 

Kristjan has held various leadership roles at LS Retail since he joined the company in 2016, most recently serving as chief commercial officer. In his new role, Johannsson will chart the strategic direction of LS Retail, overseeing its P&L as well as all functional areas of the business, including sales, partner operations, software development and marketing. Johannsson will continue to report to Aptos CEO Pete Sinisgalli.  

“With his more than 30 years of experience in the software industry, deep understanding of channel partner dynamics, and commitment to customer and colleague satisfaction, Kristjan was the natural choice to lead LS Retail into its next phase of growth,” said Sinisgalli. “I am confident that under Kristjan’s direction, LS Retail will provide valuable solutions to customers, expanded opportunities to partners, and a great place to work for colleagues.”   

“I’m honored to lead LS Retail forward, buoyed by the strength of our parent company, Aptos, and by the hundreds of remarkable individuals who make up the LS Retail organization and partner network,” said Kristjan Johannsson.  

LS Retail will continue to operate as a stand-alone business unit within Aptos, as it has since the acquisition in 2021.
