STOCKHOLM, May 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The former head of
Ericsson's Product Portfolio and R&D for Digital Services takes
the helm at Enea (Nasdaq Stockholm: ENEA) today. As the new CEO,
Jan Häglund will continue Enea's
growth strategy and further strengthen the company's position as an
independent and innovative supplier of network software. In the
past three years, the company has acquired Qosmos, Openwave
Mobility, and recently a business unit from Atos.
Häglund, who has spent 25 years in the telecom industry, was
chosen to lead the company in late 2018, and will succeed
Anders Lidbeck who becomes chairman
of the board. Häglund will build on the company's 50 years of
innovation and leverage the capabilities, business opportunities
and synergies of the new business units.
"Service providers, system vendors and enterprise customers have
always relied on innovative telecom and networking solutions to
drive business success," Häglund says. "Enea has a very strong
potential as an independent innovator with a proven track
record."
During his tenure at Ericsson, Häglund led divisions responsible
for IP and broadband solutions as well as network analytics and
control. He also served as technical director for Ericsson in
Japan. He is a well-connected and
seasoned executive with experience from strategic product
investments, and has been involved in mergers and acquisitions.
"Jan Häglund will help Enea strengthen and develop its position
as a reference supplier and trusted partner when it comes to
innovative network software", says Anders
Lidbeck, Chairman of the board at Enea. "His wide-ranging
experience across many disciplines at Ericsson will benefit Enea
and our continued expansion."
The software solutions developed by Enea have been implemented
by customers in around 100 countries worldwide. The company has
more than 650 employees and the revenue in 2018 was 830 MSEK (87
MUSD).
