She becomes the new CEO of Swedish EdTech company Dugga AB

Now it is clear who will be the new CEO of the fast-growing EdTech company Dugga AB. The Board of Directors has appointed Maria Gårdlund as the new CEO of the company. Maria comes most recently from the role of CEO of Sweco's IT consultants and takes up on February 15 next year.

Maria has extensive experience in leading professional Tech teams and a solid business background. The board sees her as the person best suitable to continue developing Dugga's business and expansion strategy. She takes over the baton from current CEO Patrik Nilsson who will focus on customer experience and product development within the company.

"It feels absolutely right to hand over the CEO role to Maria who has extensive experience in developing business expansion in the Tech industry and well-documented leadership skills,"" says Patrik Nilsson, co-founder and current CEO of Dugga.

There have been several other candidates who sought the CEO role, but the choice eventually fell on Maria.

- "We were looking for a candidate with high competence and who really wants to make a difference in learning within the world of education. It will be exciting to take Dugga to the next phase together with Maria, which is to scale the company internationally," says Claudia Rademaker, co-founder and VP at Dugga.

- "To have the opportunity to lead one of Sweden's most interesting and fastest growing EdTech companies which started as a research project at Stockholm School of Economics, feels incredibly exciting. With new technologies, there is much we can do to increase the quality of learning and provide equal opportunities for each student's learning process", says Maria Gårdlund.
