(AsiaGameHub) –   Hacksaw’s Board of Directors has decided to remove Group CEO Christoffer Källberg from his position. Ana Vrabic Verdir, a board member, will serve as the company’s interim CEO.

Hacksaw Dismisses Christoffer Källberg 

Per a statement, Hacksaw’s Board of Directors has concluded that a change in Group CEO is appropriate to better align with the Group’s strategic direction. The Board reaffirms that the company’s strategy remains unchanged and expresses confidence in its performance and future prospects. 

Operations across all subsidiaries will continue as normal, and Hacksaw is still supported by a strong core team in Sweden. One of these operations is the company’s new investment division, Hacksaw Ventures, which the group unveiled last month.

Following Verdir’s appointment as interim CEO by the Board, a comprehensive search for a permanent Group CEO was launched, conducted by a leading executive search firm. The process focuses on identifying a candidate with the experience and leadership capabilities needed to execute the Group’s long-term strategy. It should also be noted that during her tenure as Interim Group CEO, Verdir will not be considered independent of Hacksaw and its management, and she will step down from the company’s Remuneration Committee.

Patrick Svensk, chairman of the Board of Directors, stated that he wishes to thank Källberg for successfully leading the company’s IPO on the large-cap list of Nasdaq Stockholm in June of the previous year. He also acknowledged Källberg’s valuable contributions to Hacksaw, which led to solid financial performance, and wished Källberg all the best for the future.
