In this role, Espen Sundve will support the company’s executive management in realising the ambition of becoming the leading media destination in the Nordics.
“The timing is perfect now that Schibsted Media has become a standalone company with a focused mission. I enjoy being at the forefront of major strategic shifts that also create significant opportunities. I aim to contribute to a shared ambition and plan how we position ourselves well – and run fast – to achieve our goals,” says Espen Sundve.
Sundve began his career at Schibsted and has since held several senior positions in the company, including VP of Product Management at Schibsted News Media and Chief Product and Tech Officer at VG. He now comes from the position of Chief Product Officer at Norway’s leading online grocery retailer Oda. Sundve has extensive experience in strategy, organisational development, product innovation, and scaling, with a background in market-leading media and technology enterprises.
“We are very pleased to welcome Espen Sundve back to Schibsted Media. His deep understanding of Schibsted Media’s core values and strategic priorities, combined with his extensive industry knowledge and experience in building scalable platforms, uniquely positions him to help guide the company through its next phase,” says CEO Siv Juvik Tveitnes.
Sundve will report to the CEO and will start in the new position on October 1, 2024.
