Telia Appoints Tim Pennington as Interim Chief Financial Officer

By Dominic Chopping

 

STOCKHOLM--Telia said Tuesday that it has appointed Tim Pennington as interim chief financial officer from September 2023, replacing Per Christian Morland who has previously announced that he will leave the company at the end of September.

The Swedish telecommunications operator said that Pennington will serve as interim CFO until a permanent successor is in place, after which he will continue as an advisor to the company until at least September 2024.

Tim Pennington has previously served as CFO of Millicom, Cable & Wireless Communications and Hutchison Telecommunications International, and is currently an independent non-executive director at mobile network operator MTN Group.

In addition, as previously announced, Telia's head of Lithuania, Estonia and Denmark Dan Stromberg will retire in August. The company had said it would appoint his replacement in due course, but has now decided that the role will be removed.

Instead, Telia Lithuania Chief Executive Officer Giedre Kaminskaite-Salters and Telia Estonia CEO Holger Haljand will report directly to group CEO Allison Kirkby.

Telia recently announced the planned sale of its Danish operations.
