Tele2 announces departure of CFO and CCO in September

Tele2 has announced that CFO Mikael Larsson and CCO Samuel Skott will both leave the company on 01 September 2021. The news comes two days after the operator declared the formal absorption of its Com Hem brand in Sweden following the merger of the two companies in November 2018. Skott joined Tele2 in 2005 and Larsson joined in 2018 as former CFO of Com Hem.

The search for suitable replacements for the Tele2 leadership team will commence immediately. President and CEO Kjell Johnsen thanked both men for their contributions to Tele2. Larsson is leaving to become operating partner at investment firm Triton. He was instrumental in the successful merger of Tele2 with Com Hem and in the following transformation, including the international consolidation and steps towards 5G, Remote PHY and fixed-mobile convergence.

Skott has decided to pursue new opportunities, said Tele2. He obtained experience in several leading commercial and product-orientated roles before taking full responsibility for Tele2’s Swedish B2C unit. As chief commercial officer, Skott led the preparation and launch of the newly combined Tele2 brand, integrating Com Hem services into one new, converged Tele2.
