"I am happy to welcome Åse and Susanne to Storytel's management team. Under Åse's leadership, the Nordic region has continued to show strong growth in increasing competition, which is not least underlined by the fact that about every twentieth adult Nordic resident today has a Storytel subscription. Susanne's experience from influential Swedish national and international companies will be very valuable on Storytel's strong growth trajectory," says Ingrid Bojner, acting CEO of Storytel.
