Stefan Tengvall has a large shareholding in the Company and wishes to continue his support for the Company by making himself available for election to Fragbite Group’s Board. During his time as Deputy CEO and Head of M&A, Marcus Teilman has shown effective leadership and deep analytical ability. Among other things, Marcus was a driving force in our acquisitions of Playdigious and Lucky Kat. He has my and the Board’s full confidence and we are therefore pleased to be able to appoint Marcus Teilman to the role of President and CEO,” comments Niclas Bergkvist.
