Current CEO, Lisa Sounio\u00A0 will remain with the company as chairman of the board and divide her time between her other company, design strategy and PR agency Sonay.\r\n\r\nAhtisaari initially met Dopplr co-founder Matt Jones as director of design strategy for Nokia. He was then appointed Head of Brand &amp;amp;amp; Design at Blyk, ad-funded mobile network, and will continue in an advisory role for the company.\r\n\r\nAhtisaari says:\r\n\u201CNearly two years ago, one evening in London, the Dopplr idea of smarter travel was born. I\u2019m delighted to be joining the team as we move forward with our vision of smarter travel for the growing Dopplr community worldwide.\u201D\r\nIn September Dopplr announced its second financing round from a group of prominent international investors as well as original high profile investors Saul Klein of Seedcamp, serial entrepreneur Martin Varsavsky, Reid Hoffman of Linkedin and prolific investor/activist Joi Ito."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
