Tele2 has announced the appointments of Stefan Trampus as new executive vice president (EVP) for its B2B division and Yogesh Malik as chief technology and information office (CTIO). Mats Almgren was due to become EVP Tele2 B2B on 18 January but will not do so, for personal reasons. Thomas Helbo, EVP Technology, and Joss Delissen, EVP IT, will leave Tele2 after a handover period.
As EVP CTIO, Malik will lead the newly combined technology and IT unit. His senior roles at multinational companies over the last fifteen years include being group CTO at Veon, head of group technology at Telenor and CEO at Telenor India, as well as serving on the board of GSMA. Malik takes up his position on 12 January.
As EVP for Tele2 B2B, Trampus will lead the Swedish B2B unit. He is currently director of the network operator business and CEO of Tele2’s subsidiary iTUX. He has spent more than 20 years in the Swedish telecoms industry including as chief sales officer at Com Hem, head of the B2B and landlord business units at Com Hem and head of broadband services at Telia Sweden.
Trampus will start his new position on 18 January and is staying on as CEO of iTUX. Mats Almgren had been expected to become EVP Tele2 B2B on that date but will not join Tele2 after all, for personal reasons.
Kjell Johnsen, president and group CEO, said Tele2 needs strong leadership in a challenging Swedish B2B market, adding that there is an opportunity to explore potential synergies between the network operator and landlord business on the one hand, and B2B on the other.
The operator said this expands its group leadership team by representatives of important strategic areas. From 18 January, the leadership team comprises Johnsen as president and group CEO, Trampus as EVP Tele2 B2B, Malik as EVP CTIO, Mikael Larsson as EVP Group CFO, Karin Svensson as EVP People and Change, Kim Hagberg as EVP Chief Operations, Samuel Skott as EVP Chief Commercial Officer, and Backman as EVP Group General Counsel and Director Wholesale Business.
