His vision and dedication at the forefront of Tele2 have helped carry the company forward, nurturing the momentum and opening doors to a promising new chapter. We look forward to continuing benefiting from his experience and collaboration as a member of the Board of Directors", says Thomas Reynaud, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tele2, and further states: "We are delighted that Nicholas Högberg has accepted the role of new CEO. The Board and I have full confidence that Nicholas is the ideal candidate to steer the company into its next chapter. He is an accomplished executive who, throughout his career and across varied sectors, has repeatedly shown an ability to strengthen business performance while pursuing disciplined growth and strategic focus."
