Clearly, the board is also delighted that Albert has accepted to take on the role as new CEO. We cannot see that we could have found a better candidate than Albert to assume the helm of Spotlio now that Christian is stepping down. Few people, if any, can match Albert’s knowledge of our industry, and we are confident that Spotlio will benefit from his extensive experience in his new role as CEO of the company,” added Wrede-Holm.
