Kari Voutilainen Steps Back at Urban Jürgensen
Kari Voutilainen is stepping back from his day-to-day executive role at Urban Jürgensen, where he has worked alongside co-CEO Alex Rosenfield for four years to relaunch the brand. Voutilainen will transition to focusing on watchmaking and development while remaining a shareholder, board member, and senior strategic advisor. This change follows a strategic plan to empower the management team at Urban Jürgensen, allowing Voutilainen to dedicate more time to designing new watches. Despite the change in leadership, Voutilainen's influence on the brand will continue as he guides the development and design of new models, ensuring that the brand’s core identity remains intact. His extensive experience and connections have already contributed to a successful launch in 2025, despite earlier setbacks. With a new management team in place and the brand beginning to deliver to collectors, there is optimism about Urban Jürgensen's future trajectory under Rosenfield's leadership.
