Bengt Jonsson named Forsway chairman

June 14, 2023 12.30 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Swedish broadband by satellite company Forsway has appointed Bengt Jonsson as its new chairman.

Jonsson joined the Forsway board of directors in January 2021, and takes over from Mats Andersson, who had been chairman from the past nine years. Andersson will remain as a member of the Forsway board.

An excellent candidate to take the helm, we are very pleased Bengt has signed on as Chairman,” says Tobias Forsell, CEO, Forsway. Already a Board member, his extensive network and background from emerging markets and executive level positions in the global technology arena have already proven to be a valuable asset to our long-term goals and growth objectives.”

A long-time investor with strong roots in Forsway, Bengt previously served as managing director and brings extensive insight and experience to the Chairmanship.

“Broadband connectivity provides basic opportunities that so many take for granted,” says says Jonsson. “Forsway’s benchmark solutions, using existing technology and infrastructure, is the most cost-efficient way of enabling service providers to bring internet services to the many underserved regions in both emerging and advanced markets. It is exciting to be a part of this vision.”
