Jesper was also a partner in the venture capital company IT Provider.
"Jesper´s experience from both print and Internet media makes him very suitable for leading Eniro. In addition, Jesper has extensive experience from leading businesses in industries undergoing structural transition, such as Svenska Spel and Östersunds Posten. This experience is very valuable for Eniro," says Lars Berg, Chairman of Eniro´s Board of Directors.
"I am excited and look forward to leading Eniro, which is a strong brand to which many people have a close relationship. Eniro´s products and services are used daily by most Swedes. There are also several other strong brands within the Group with similar positions," says Jesper Kärrbrink, incoming President and CEO of Eniro.
"Eniro has a very strong position that I will be pleased to be able to manage and develop. It is a stable and profitable search company that has been very successful on the Internet. The company also has one of the Nordic region´s best sales forces, and through their work, Eniro has excellent contacts with many small and medium-size companies," continues Jesper Kärrbrink.
"Eniro´s prospects for the future are bright. Eniro is one of the companies with the most developed local search business on Internet and Eniro has also continued to develop the other search channels. It is an interesting strategic challenge to continue that development - if we set the right course there, this will be a fantastic journey," concludes Jesper Kärrbrink.
