Viaplay promotes Philip Wågnert

May 3, 2022 09.55 Europe/London By Chris Dziadul

Viaplay has appointed Philip Wågnert its EVP and chief technology and product officer, effective May 3.

He will lead the company’s product, data and technology development and hold overall technical responsibility for the Viaplay streaming platform. He will also join the company’s general executive management team, reporting to Anders Jensen, NENT Group president and CEO, and will be based in Stockholm.

Wågnert was most recently SVP Product at Viaplay. He joined the company in August 2018 from Travelport, and previously spent five years in a range of leadership roles at SAS, including VP product development & management.

Wågnert takes over from Kaj af Kleen, who has decided to take up a new position in a different industry after 15 years with the company.

Commenting on the appointment, Jensen said: “Viaplay is unique and our tech talents are decisive in our ongoing success. Philip is a great fit for this role, and his appointment shows the strength of our team. His skills, leadership and passion will help us innovate even faster and deliver one-of-a-kind experiences to viewers across our markets. Kaj has been a great and appreciated member of the team for many years, and we wish him the best of luck in his new endeavours”.

Wågnert added: “I’m proud to take on this role and to lead such a world-class product, data and tech team. Working together to build products that our customers love gives me so much energy. I know at first hand how much talent we have at Viaplay, and I can’t wait to get started”.
