"During this half-year I’ve strongly appreciated Gunnar, both for his competence and deep knowledge of Avanza as well as for the positive energy he projects. We are many who will miss Gunnar, and I wish him all the best,” says Gustaf Unger, CEO of Avanza.

"It’s with proud steps that I will soon be leaving Avanza. I’m glad to have had the privilege to work with so many talented, engaged and fun colleagues. I’m also proud of what we have accomplished, and that we’ve reached 2 million customers. There’s also been turbulent times, in which we have all rolled up our sleeves and overcome the challenges together – always with the customers’ best interest at heart. When it’s now time for me to take on a new challenge, I will always carry the best memories, from the worlds’ best company within savings and investments, with me,” concludes Gunnar Olsson, departing Deputy CEO and COO of Avanza.

The recruitment process of a new COO will begin shortly.
