Filippa Wallestam is to take over responsibility for TV3, TV6, TV8 and TV10 together with Viasat, Viafree and MTG’s radio business in Sweden.
Wallestam becomes CEO of MTG Sweden following last week’s announcement that the company will split into two separate businesses – MTG and Nordic Entertainment Group.
“I’m delighted that Filippa will become the new CEO of MTG Sweden and the future CEO of Nordic Entertainment Group Sweden,” said Anders Jensen, EVP and CEO of MTG Nordic Entertainment. “As Head of Nordic Entertainment Operations and a member of our Nordic leadership team, Filippa has played a vital role in MTG’s success story in the Nordic region. She has outstanding strategic abilities and knows our business like the back of her hand. Filippa is just the right person to continue developing MTG Sweden as the company continues its journey within Nordic Entertainment Group.”
Wallestam will report to Anders Jensen, who will become President and CEO of Nordic Entertainment Group.
