of Human Resources for seven years, the time is right to move on, said Bjørn
Magnus Kopperud. - I believe that the efforts from my team and myself have moved
Telenor in a positive direction over the years and I am thankful for the trust I
was given. I now look forward to contribute with my broad experience in the
management of the CEE region, said Bjørn Magnus Kopperud.
