“Tom brings vast experience and great competence, bolstering Cinnober and its already strong customer relations,” says Veronica Augustsson, CEO of Cinnober. “Being in the same industry, we’ve known each other for years and this recruitment is another important brick in our expansion plans. I’m very happy that we have been able to bring Tom on board, enabling us to incorporate his integrity, broad connections and business sense with the fantastic opportunities our technology offers.”
