“After a thorough internal and external search for a CEO for Schibsted Marketplaces, Schibsted’s Board has concluded that Christian is the right choice for the company going forward,” says
“Christian’s deep understanding of Schibsted’s marketplaces operations – their challenges as well as opportunities – combined with his business acumen and strong leadership skills, make him the ideal candidate to lead Schibsted through this next exciting phase. Schibsted’s Board stands firmly behind the verticalisation strategy that Christian initiated within Nordic Marketplaces, while we also recognise the need to make the company more competitive and cost-effective,” Agerup continues.
“The Board believes strongly in the opportunity of a focused, growth-oriented and value-creating marketplace company for the future, and that Christian is the right person to lead that journey,” Agerup concludes.
“It’s a privilege getting to lead this great company with all its fantastic people. We’re proud to be at the heart of the circular economy, with some of the strongest brands in the Nordics. With our focus on developing and utilising innovative technology and capabilities, we are transforming the way people consume goods and services,” says Printzell Halvorsen. “Our immediate priority is our transformation into a simple and cost-effective company operating in four core verticals: Mobility, Jobs, Real Estate and Recommerce. There is a substantial opportunity in leveraging these positions to create value, both through optimising existing listing models and expanding new transactional solutions. I believe Schibsted Marketplaces can continue to be at the forefront of leading marketplaces operators globally, leveraging its strong positions and by innovating new business models.”
