Recently appointed Tele2 Group CEO Kjell Johnsen [1] (pictured) praised its performance in Q3, driven by operations in Sweden and the Baltics, but emphasised there was room for improvement in its business offerings.
In its earnings statement, Johnsen highlighted the success of its “more-for-more strategy” in broadband and mobile post-paid in Sweden, and continued mobile-centric convergence strategy in the Baltics.
However, Tele2’s head pointed to the need for optimisation of its business segment in Sweden for profitability, “by leveraging our potential as an innovative aggregator and distributor, while simultaneously strengthening our combined offerings”.
Building upon “a very strong foundation”, Johnsen said Tele2’s infrastructure position in Sweden will be enhanced with the rollout of 5G and next-generation fixed networks, “but we should also keep an open mindset and look for other opportunities to improve reliability and customer experience, as well as realising financial value”.
