”I have strongly appreciated working with Sofia during this past year. She has an impressive drive and commitment – and she is someone to depend on, always with Avanza’s best interest at heart. We are many who will miss her”, says Gustaf Unger, CEO of Avanza.

”Avanza is a fantastic company where I have absolutely loved working for almost 10 years. However, I want to do something more in my professional life and now feels like the right time to do it. I am proud of everything that we at Avanza have accomplished, and most of all of our never failing customer focus. I would also like to thank all investors and analysts that I have met over the years for good and productive conversations”, says Sofia Svavar.

The recruitment process for a replacement will begin shortly. In the meantime, media are referred to Gustaf Unger, CEO and spokesperson, and investors and analysts to Karolina Johansson, IR Manager.
