Arif Rehman has over 20 years of experience from leading roles in Nordic tech and SaaS companies, with a focus on product innovation and commercial scalability. Early in his career, Arif worked in the Tele2/Kinnevik sphere as a trainee and has since held executive roles such as CEO and CPO in both privately owned and listed companies. Arif holds a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Chalmers.

- With his experience in driving strategic initiatives and leading organizations in the growth phase, I believe that Arif has a very good background and skill set to take the company to the next level and in the long term develop the company into a market leader in ID verification and KYC. He is entering an industry that is developing rapidly and where we see great opportunities ahead, comments Johan Qviberg, Chairman of the Board of Checkin.com Group AB.

Christian Karlsson, who has been Acting CEO since 2024, will in connection with this leave his role to take on new challenges outside Checkin.com Group AB.

- I would also like to take this opportunity to express the Board's appreciation for the work that Christian has done in the role of Acting CEO since May 2024. He has taken on the assignment with great commitment and contributed to continuity and clarity in an important phase for the company. We thank Christian for his efforts and wish him well in his upcoming assignments, continues Johan Qviberg.

To ensure a smooth transition, the board has decided that the company's current CFO, Martin Bäuml, will be appointed Interim CEO from December 12, 2025 until Arif Rehman takes office. Martin Bäuml will continue in the role as CFO in parallel with the temporary assignment as Interim CEO.
