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 of becoming 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 Valgren is the right leader for this next chapter of FlightLogger," said Paul Yancich, Managing Director at Arcadea Group. He went on to say, “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.” 
 
Valgren had this to say: "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.” 
 
Daniel Eisen, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Arcadea Group, said:

"Mads has played a critical role in building the company and establishing the strong foundation we have today. His contributions to the business, the product, and our customers have been substantial. We are grateful for his leadership and pleased that he will continue supporting FlightLogger as an advisor." 
 
Valgren said:

"Flight schools exist to develop skilled, safe pilots. They do not exist to spend their days reconciling schedules, chasing paperwork, coordinating maintenance, updating records, or managing fragmented systems. 
 
Our vision is to create the operating system for flight training organizations: a single platform that brings together training management, student engagement, scheduling, financial operations, safety, fleet management, maintenance, and continuing airworthiness management. 
 
For much of the industry's history, software has primarily served as a system of record. It helped operators document work after it happened. We believe the next generation of software will go much further. 
 
As AI and agentic technologies mature, software will increasingly evolve from a system of record into a system of action. Rather than simply tracking operations, it will help organizations plan, coordinate, execute, and continuously improve them. 
 
That future is particularly important in flight training. The global aviation industry faces a sustained need for new pilots, instructors, and aviation professionals. Flight schools carry the responsibility of preparing the next generation of aviation talent while maintaining the highest standards of safety, compliance, and operational excellence. 
 
Our objective is straightforward: reduce operational complexity and administrative burden so that our customers can dedicate more of their time, energy, and expertise to training pilots, improving safety outcomes, and growing their organizations. 
 
We believe the future flight school operating system will not simply tell customers what has happened. It will help them determine what should happen next and increasingly assist them in making it happen." 
 
Larsen added: 
 
"FlightLogger has never been better positioned than it is today. 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."
