CEO new Chairman, CCO appointed acting CEO
Checkin.com’s founder and CEO Kristoffer Cassel was today elected as new Chairman of the Board at the company’s Annual General Meeting. All other board members were re-elected. The newly appointed board subsequently, in accordance with current regulations, appointed an acting CEO, the company’s Chief Commercial Officer, Christian Karlsson.
At Checkin.com Group’s Annual General Meeting today Kristoffer Cassel was elected as new Chairman of the Board, in accordance with the Nomination Committee's proposal. The former Chairman of the Board, Anders Borg, had previously declined re-election due to his new role as Chairman of the Board at LKAB.
“As I have stated earlier I plan to be a very active Chairman and look forward to further developing the board's work while the company takes a step to the next level”, says Kristoffer Cassel.
At the subsequent inaugural board meeting, Christian Karlsson, Checkin.com Group’s Chief Commercial Officer since 2018, was appointed as acting CEO.
Christian has in his role been primarily responsible for sales, business development, and the commercial development of the company's software. He has also since 2022 been CEO of Checkin.com's subsidiary GetID and has previous experience from various commercial leadership roles in several European countries.
“I have lived with Checkin.com more or less around the clock for six years, so it is of course very exciting to take the next step within the company. I now look forward to continuing developing the company together with the Chairman of the Board and the rest of the team”, comments Christian Karlsson.
“I wouldn't have accepted the nomination from the Nomination Committee if I didn't feel that it was natural that Christian, who already knows the company inside out, expands his role to acting CEO now that I, according to the rules, cannot stay as CEO”, concludes the Chairman of the Board Kristoffer Cassel.
