\u201cI\u2019m extremely pleased to be bringing in Tomas Franz\u00e9n, who has a solid and very successful background as a CEO,\u201d says Carl-Johan Bonnier, board chair for Bonnier AB. \u201cHe has led companies with challenges that are similar in many ways to those that Bonnier companies face: distribution, digitalization and understanding and facing changes in how media is consumed. I\u2019m convinced that Tomas has everything it takes to successfully lead Bonnier.\u201d<\/p>\n
Franz\u00e9n, 51, has been CEO of Com Hem, a leading cable operator and provider of broadband services in the Swedish market, since 2008. Before that, he was CEO of Eniro for four years and between 2002 and 2004, was CEO for Internet provider Song Networks. He has some 20 years of experience as a CEO in both publicly traded and private companies.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very excited about the new position,\u201d says Franz\u00e9n. \u201cBonnier is an international company, with a powerful base in Sweden, strong positioning and brands, and long-term thinking that\u2019s appealing. My experience from Com Hem among others means that I\u2019m well-versed in many of the challenges the company faces, and I look forward to getting to know the company from the inside.\u201d<\/p>\n
Franz\u00e9n succeeds current CEO Jonas Bonnier, who leaves at the start of 2014.<\/p>\n
