Spotify, the Swedish music streaming company, has appointed Christian Luiga as its new Chief Financial Officer. Luiga will replace Paul Vogel, who departed in March after nearly eight years with the company.
Luiga, previously serving as the finance chief and deputy CEO at Saab, brings extensive experience to his new role as Spotify intensifies efforts to enhance profitability and expand its offerings.
Christian Luiga joins Spotify from Saab, where he was finance chief and deputy CEO for approximately four years.
His tenure at Saab demonstrates his strategic financial acumen and leadership capabilities, making him a valuable addition to Spotify’s executive team.
Until Luiga assumes his new role in the third quarter, Ben Kung, Spotify’s vice president of financial planning and analysis, will serve as the interim CFO.
This transitional period ensures continuity in financial leadership and allows for a seamless transition as Luiga prepares to join the company.
Luiga’s appointment aligns with Spotify’s ongoing efforts to enhance profitability. The company has implemented employee layoffs and price increases across its subscription plans.
Spotify’s plans to raise prices in select markets, including the UK and Australia, indicate its commitment to sustainable growth and financial stability.
In addition to pricing adjustments, Spotify is diversifying its offerings by expanding into podcasts and audiobooks.
This strategic initiative aims to broaden the platform’s user base and reduce dependence on the music industry, aligning with the company’s long-term goal of reaching 1 billion users by 2030.
Saab has confirmed that Luiga’s notice period is six months, and he will remain with the company until October 3rd.
This ensures a smooth transition process, allowing Luiga to fulfill his responsibilities at Saab before fully transitioning to his new role at Spotify.
