Christoffer Rutgersson will be the new CEO of Qliro
Christoffer Rutgersson has been appointed by the board as the new CEO of Qliro AB. He succeeds Jonas Arlebäck, who has been acting CEO since February. Christoffer has extensive experience of driving profitable growth in entrepreneurial and fast-growing technology companies.
Over the past ten years, Christoffer Rutgersson has held several leading positions in fast-growing companies in the technology sector. Among other things, Christoffer was one of the co-founders of Bambora, an international payment solution company, which was started in 2014 and then grew rapidly from about 50 to 800 employees within three years. At Bambora, Christoffer was responsible in the management team for strategy, growth, and analysis and drove the company's expansion in the Nordic region and Canada. In connection with Ingenico Retail’s acquisition of Bambora in 2017, Christoffer was appointed Vice President of Ingenico Retail and facilitated a "Growth Transformation" with a focus on profitable growth, which resulted in both the company's profit and growth rate doubling. In the years before Bambora’s founding, Christoffer worked as a management consultant at Boston Consulting Group. Today, he is also an angel investor in technology start-up companies and sits on the board of, among other things, the fast-growing Greenely.
“After a careful recruitment process, it is gratifying that we can now present Christoffer as the new CEO of Qliro. With his experience from the technology sector and history as a leader in fast-growing payment solution companies, the board is convinced that Christoffer is the right person to take over as CEO and lead Qliro's strategy change and work towards profitable growth. At the same time, I would like to thank Jonas for his time as acting CEO of Qliro and the work he has put in to develop the company,” says Patrik Enblad, Chairman of the Board of Qliro.
Christoffer Rutgersson will assume the role of CEO on October 1, 2022.
