Goobit Group appoints Erika Eliasson as new CEO

“Erika Eliasson is definitely the right person to take Goobit Group to the next level. In April she left fintech company Lendify after five years with the company where she in her role as deputy CEO had a key role in building the company. She also has a strong understanding of traditional finance and how to drive growth in a regulated environment,” comments Christian Ander, crypto entrepreneur and founder of Goobit Group 2012 and its current Chairman of the Board.

Erika Eliasson is Chairwoman of the Swedish FinTech Association, senior advisor at Kreab, Chairwoman at Wellstreet Fintech Board, Member of the Board in Kameo AS and member in the Realtid Advisory Board. Erika has MSc in Economics from Uppsala University and has previously been deputy CEO at Lendify, Institutional Sales at Evli Fonder and Head of Sales at Erik Penser Bank. Erika is buying a stake corresponding to 3% of the company’s shares from Christian Ander/Blockchain AB and GBI Holding AB at a price of SEK 2,656 per share, corresponding to the volume-weighted average price during the past 30 trading days.

“Society and the financial industry are undergoing significant changes and I see great opportunities to take Goobit to the next level. We have only seen very beginning of what the crypto industry is capable of, and it is a tantalizing thought that the crypto industry is now where the internet was in the end of the 90’s. I am very much looking forward to leading the business in an exciting and expansive phase,” comments Erika Eliasson.

Erika Eliasson will begin in her role as CEO on November 16th and will remain in her position as Member of the company’s Board.
