“I am pleased to have Albern rejoin the Group Executive Management team to head up the Developed Asia cluster. Digi is a frontrunner in many ways in Telenor Group, home to many of the most digitally savvy customers and employees in the company. Albern brings this expertise to our table,” said Sigve Brekke, President and CEO of Telenor Group.
