Warner Bros. Discovery discloses new names for the Nordics Leadership management team.

Warner Bros. Discovery has announced its Nordic management team, led by Christina Sulebakk, who was appointed General Manager in June.

In addition to the principal appointment, Pil Gundelach Brandstrup will assume principal responsibility for content and planning across the region and will continue to serve as his director of Danish content. 

Axel Eriksson (Sweden) and Katja Santara (Finland) will continue to lead the country’s content, while Lina Freeman will continue to lead the planning and report to Brandstrup. 

“The Nordic countries are highly developed media markets, and Warner Bros. Discovery is one of the leading media businesses in the region, reaching millions of people every day with high-quality content and products,” said Sulebakk.

 

In the past few months, I have had the pleasure of meeting so many talented people, and I am confident that WBD will grow into an even stronger corporation in the years ahead. She concluded, “The potential is extremely exciting,” adding that her team would “support me in delivering continued growth for WBD in the Nordics.”
