Giedrė Kaminskaitė-Salters has been appointed Senior Vice President, Head of Telia Baltics and member of the Group Executive Management team as a representative for both Lithuania and Estonia, while continuing in her current role as Head of Telia Lithuania.

A recruitment process for a new Head of Telia Estonia, who will report to Giedrė, has started and Andre Visse, CTO of Telia Estonia, will be acting Head of Telia Estonia during this period.

The move comes after Holger Haljand was today named Senior Vice President, Head of Telia Finland and member of the company’s Group Executive Management team, effective February 1, 2025. Holger has held a range of leadership positions since joining the Telia Estonia management team in 2014 and is currently Head of Telia Estonia. He replaces Heli Partanen, currently Senior Vice President, Head of Telia Finland and member of the Group Executive Management team, who will leave her position to pursue external opportunities.

Patrik Hofbauer, Telia Company President and CEO: “Holger’s business acumen, customer focus, and track record of building high-performing teams and delivering growth make him an ideal leader for Telia’s team in Finland – a market where we see opportunities to strengthen our position. Giedrė’s expertise and drive have been key in our ongoing Baltic success story, and will make a significant contribution to our Group Executive Management team. I want to thank Heli for being a valuable member of Telia’s leadership and for her many contributions during her extensive career in the company, and I wish her all the best in her next steps.”
