“Jon joined Tele2 in 2017 and has been a crucial driver behind the turnaround of Tele2’s Dutch operations, ultimately culminating with the merger. Jon and I have worked together for many years and he has contributed greatly to both the success of Com Hem and Tele2 in his two most recent positions. I want to thank Jon for his leadership and engagement, and I wish him the best of luck in whatever challenges he will take on in the future,” said Anders Nilsson, President and CEO, Tele2.

“It is a source of great satisfaction to have secured, in just two years, a significant organizational transformation of Tele2 Netherlands plus the successful T-Mobile merger with an unconditional European clearance.
