Interim Report Third Quarter 2020

We have a solid position and plan to build on, but I also see room for operational improvement for further value creation that I will address and come back to going forward. Overall, I am very impressed by my new colleagues at Tele2 and really appreciate the resolute way in which they have handled the pandemic. I am very excited to be here and will certainly enjoy leading Tele2 onwards.”
