Announcing the senior appointment in a statement, Kathryn Moore Baker, Catena Media's Chairman of the Board, said: “We are very pleased to have reached an agreement with Per, who has a solid digital background and exceptional experience in leading global teams managing fast-paced growth. In previous assignments, he has demonstrated a strong capacity for successfully driving progress in transforming markets.” 

In its most recent financial report, Catena Media revealed revenues of €20.1m, rising by 63% year-on-year when compared to the Q4 2016 and up 16% on the revenue generated during the third quarter of 2017.

Incoming CEO Per Hellberg waxed lyrical about his new employers adding: “Catena Media is a one-of-a-kind company with a compelling history, an almost unprecedented growth rate and vast potential.

“I am inspired by companies with a clear strategy for growth and by how I can further contribute to their success. I have spent a decade in that environment. This is a great opportunity to be able to continue the journey and to support Catena Media in its aggressive strategy for the future.”
