Allente, the pay-TV company formed by the merger of Telenor's Canal Digital with Nordic Entertainment Group's Viasat Consumer, has announced the appointment of Helge Oien as its chief financial officer from 01 September. Oien was previously CFO at Telenor Myanmar, and before that, he worked in the Telenor Group finance department, including responsibilities for M&A and investor relations.
Allente's new CEO Jonas Gustafsson said Oien's background and his broad competence are a perfect match for Allente as it continues to grow and to widen its range this autumn. Oien said entering the fast-moving television sector would be an exciting challenge. Acting CFO Ivan Busk Ginnerup returns to the role of business and financial control director.
