Allison Kirkby, President and CEO of Tele2 AB, comments: ”I am both proud and excited to have recruited such a great talent to Tele2 and our Leadership Team. Stina has exactly the qualities and experience we are looking for in this role, having delivered great results in her previous positions at Kinnevik and McKinsey. I am also delighted to have been able to leverage the strength of the Kinnevik talent pool to fill this important position for Tele2."

Stina Andersson, incoming EVP Strategy & Business Development at Tele2 AB, comments: ”I am thrilled to be joining Tele2 and feel that the Tele2 culture and values correspond very well with my approach and way of working. I look forward to drive the Strategy & Business Development agenda together with Allison and the Leadership Team.”
