In light of a changing market environment with weaker macroeconomic sentiment, and with an increased focus on integration, consolidation and cost efficiency, the board has agreed with Oscar Werner that the company, at this stage, needs a new CEO. As a result, the board has decided to initiate the recruitment of a new CEO.

Johan Hedberg assumes the role of interim CEO, effective immediately, and will work closely with the board and management to safeguard financial performance and improve profitability during the recruitment of a new CEO. Following the implementation of Sinch’s new operating model, which was announced on February 3, 2022, Sinch is organized into five business units with full profit and loss responsibility.
