“We are thrilled that both Andreas and Akshay assume roles as chairperson and board member, respectively. We have developed a strong relationship with them both since SB Northstar became a major shareholder last year, now holding 15.9% of the shares in Kahoot!, and I am confident that the experience, insights and network Andreas and Akshay can contribute, alongside the rest of the Board, will be instrumental to Kahoot! in our next phase of growth. I want to thank Harald Arnet and Sindre Østgård, who have been invaluable to Kahoot!, in their capacity as chairperson and board member in Kahoot! They have represented all shareholders in a formidable way. We are also grateful that Harald has accepted to continue in his new role as chair of the nomination committee,” said Eilert Hanoa, CEO of Kahoot!

Following Kahoot!’s main listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange in March, the new Board will strengthen Kahoot! further. With Stefan Blom, Lori Wright and Joanne Bradford continuing as board members, together with Andreas Hansson and Akshay Naheta, we have established a Board with extensive international experience, as well as deep technology insight and an unparalleled network. Furthermore, the Board has been supplemented by two employee representatives with deputies, elected by and among the employees of Kahoot! ASA.”

“I’m excited to take on the role as chairperson of the Kahoot! Board. I am truly looking forward to representing Kahoot!´s shareholders and working with such an experienced and diverse Board.
