Telia Company has announced the resignation of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Christian Luiga. He has held various positions at Telia since 2009 and became CFO in April 2014. Since September 2019, he has been the acting CEO and president until Allison Kirkby took up the role on 04 May 2020.
Luiga will be at the company’s disposal during his notice period to support Kirkby in her new position and to assist with the hand-over of several projects, but will not be a member of group executive management. His last day of employment is 15 September.
Board chairman Lars-Johan Jarnheimer thanked Luiga in particular for acting up as CEO and said he had performed that role with great commercial focus and engagement.
Luiga said being part of leading Telia through times of massive change and challenge had been very rewarding, but all good things must come to an end, and he had concluded that this was the right time to leave.
A search for a permanent CFO will start immediately and Douglas Lubbe will continue in his role as acting CFO for now, said Telia.
