Telia Company today announced a new organizational structure from January 1, 2017.
Abraham Foss, the current CEO of Norway, will join as well as the new CEO for Finland, Stein-Erik Vellan, who will replace the current CEO Valdur Laid.
The operations in Lithuania, Estonia and Denmark will form a cluster managed by Henriette Wendt who is currently head of Corporate Development.
All countries will be reported as separate units to the market and the previous regional layer will now be replaced by people in the countries and from group functions.
Shareholding in Turkcell and Megafon will be managed by a new unit – Corporate Holdings – headed by Robert Andersson, who is currently head of Region Europe. Latvian operations, LMT, Telia Carrier and Lattelekom will become part of the unit.
As part of new organizational structure, Telia will split Corporate Development into several parts.
Corporate Affairs will be responsible for Mergers and Acquisitions, People and Engagement will take on Sustainability and the CEO Office will be responsible for Group Strategy, Risk Management, and also overseeing Internal Audit.
