In his new role, Vergos will be responsible for setting the sales strategy, aligning the sales structure and generating profitable growth in the region. He will also be a part of the Telenor Connexion management team reporting to CEO Mats Lundquist.

During his 24 years working in the IT and telecom industry, Vergos has held several sales related roles.

“With the expansive phase Telenor Connexion is in, I’m confident that Paulo has the right profile and experience to bring great value to our company and customers. His experience growing business in new areas will be instrumental in driving business over the coming months and years.”

Due to organizational growth, and as previously communicated, the CSO function of Telenor Connexion was recently expanded and split into two new roles. On August 20, Seth Ryding was announced as CSO of the APAC region.

Vergos takes on his new role as CSO for EMEA & Americas on January 1, 2020, and will be based in the Telenor Connexion Karlskrona office.
