STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, June 27, 2007 – Tilgin, a leader in customer premises equipment (CPE) for triple play and IMS solutions, today announces that its Board of Directors appointed Ola Berglund, former Chief Operating Officer (COO), as new CEO at the board meeting on June 26, 2007.

The Board of Directors has evaluated the company’s business and has on the basis of a more customer driven market development towards IP-based services assessed the need for new leadership. The company needs a new CEO in order to reassure the transformation of the company’s today unexploited intellectual capital in shape of software and integration competency towards new business with higher margins.

One important task for the new CEO will be to position Tilgin as an innovative company with deep expertise within the fast growing areas of messaging and multimedia services, such as Triple Play and IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystems), where the company’s concept “Tilgin IMS@Home” has been well received.

”Tilgin has grown fast and become an internationally established company under the leadership of Jan Werne, says Johnny Sommarlund, Chairman of the Board. “Despite this, it is the Board’s opinion that the company in its next phase is in need of a leader with more explicit software alignment and with experience of delivering system solutions. We believe that Ola Berglund is the right leader to take the company further.”

Ola Berglund has held the position of COO at Tilgin since January 2007. Previously Ola Berglund was president and CEO of Enea AB and has more than 20 years experience in working with international software companies and more than 15 years in different management positions.

”The company has a unique competency and position to take advantage of business opportunities within the fast growing market of converging services”, says Ola Berglund. ”This demands among other things for us to be a solid and sustainable partner to global telecom suppliers and system integrators”, he continues.

Ola Berglund takes on the position of CEO as of June 27, 2007. Jan Werne will be available to the CEO and the Board of Director until October 1, 2007.
