(Telecompaper) Tele2 announced a change in its Leadership Team structure to enhance focus on its main markets and ensure maintained attention to the smaller growth assets. This new structure will take effect immediately. Tele2 identifies Sweden, Russia, the Netherlands and Norway as the most important operations within the group in terms of revenue generation. To maximise leverage of current and future opportunities in these markets, Tele2 has decided to remove the Market Area Director concept and instead appoint dedicated CEOs, leading to a stronger management focus in the main markets. Thomas Ekman is CEO of Tele2 Sweden, Jere Calmes CEO of Tele2 Russia and Gunther Vogelpoel CEO of Tele2 Netherlands. Arild Hustad, CEO of Tele2 Norway, will also assume a place in the Leadership Team. Niklas Sonkin has overall responsibility for Austria, Croatia, Estonia, Germany, Kazakhstan, Latvia and Lithuania, making up smaller but important growth and cashflow generating operations. Apart from Hustad who joins the Leadership Team, its members remain the same.
