Grethe Malkmus comes from the position of SVP People and Culture, where she has been in charge of Business HR Delivery for Schibsted.

It also means that Grethe will have a splendid team with her to take the People and Communication function further, something I am certain she will handle with excellence. Grethe has broad experience from Schibsted and from other companies and industries, and she has all the professional and personal capabilities needed to execute our many exciting plans ahead”, says Kristin Skogen Lund, CEO of Schibsted.

It'll be my task to build on the huge strengths of the People and Communication team, helping Schibsted realise its ambitions as an employer and as a family of brands. I’m honoured to be given this unique opportunity”, says Grethe Malkmus.
