Landgren is an Ericsson veteran who brings more than 25 years of experience in executive roles in sales and delivery across Europe and Asia-Pacific to the position.

For the past five years, he has led Ericsson's Cloud, Software and Services, and Enterprise unit for South East Asia, Oceania and India, working extensively with service providers in Australia and New Zealand on driving digital transformation, automation and 5G monetisation.
