In December 2025, Skkynet appointed Lee Tedstone, a veteran business executive with expertise in industrial AI and technology scale-up, to its Board of Directors to support the company’s growth, innovation, and strategic go-to-market expansion. This leadership addition aligns with Skkynet’s focus on expanding its footprint in the industrial data and digital transformation sector.
