Change in Eltel Management Team – CFO Petter Traaholt to leave Eltel

Petter Traaholt, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Eltel, will leave the company to assume the position as CFO at V.Group, the leading ship management and marine services provider based in London. A search process for his successor will start immediately.

Petter Traaholt will continue in his position until end of February 2020.

– During his time with the company, Petter has, together with the management team, been instrumental in the ongoing transformation of the business. Over the past years, we have de-risked the company, restructured the business into a country-based organization, re-financed the company and launched our Operational Excellence strategy. Petter was also the driver of establishing and strengthening the Group’s internal control function as well as being a highly regarded leader and colleague. We regret that Petter has chosen to leave the company, but at the same time we respect his decision to take a new step in his career, says Casimir Lindholm, President and CEO, Eltel AB.
