Kristo Kaasan has been appointed the technology and IT director at Levira, having previously worked as the company’s IT manager.
Commenting on the promotion, Tiit Tammiste, chairman of Levira’s management board, said: “In recent years, Levira has changed a lot in business terms and is carrying out extensive digitisation of services. Our services are increasingly dependent on IT, and Kristo IT’s background contributes well to Levira’s development”.
Kaasan said: “Levira has become a modern digital services company, where technology plays a major role in both the production of TV and data centre operations. With my private and public experience, I want to help increase Levira’s competitiveness and I believe that my interest in radio communications is beneficial as I am a radio amateur myself”.
