Management evaluated Jean-Marc Harion’s track record and skillset against the following key factors for TEL2.B-SE:
- Navigating SME risk to sustain B2B and Baltic growth.
- Completing 5G rollout to enable future capital returns.
- Executing brand revitalization to stabilize Swedish consumer unit.
- Sustaining cost transformation to meet raised EBITDAaL guidance.

Question #1
Given Harion’s track record of aggressive restructuring, does he prioritize achieving short-term cost and EBITDA targets even if it risks eroding the company’s long-term organic growth capabilities and market position?
Question #2

Question #3
When balancing the demands of a major operational program like a 5G rollout against an opportunity for a transformative M&A or asset monetization deal, where does Harion instinctively focus his time and energy?
