The Power of Connectivity
“I am very excited to take responsibility for the Swedish operation, where we have doubled our headcount over the past two years, and to help maintain that growth with a high level of expertise,” says Kåre Nordström, Managing Director, Orange Cyberdefense Sweden. “I joined Orange Cyberdefense because I wanted to work for a company with clear values, strong team spirit and high-performing teams—qualities I look forward to strengthening and developing further.”
Kåre Nordström brings 25 years of experience in the IT and technology sectors, having held senior roles at companies including Intentia, TDC, Telenor and Cygate. He has been with Orange Cyberdefense since 2020. In addition to building the company’s presence in Northern Sweden and establishing regional offices in Sundsvall, Umeå, Luleå and Borlänge, Kåre led the company’s business development lab where new innovation concepts were developed and tested.
“I hand over the responsibility for the Swedish operation to Kåre with great pleasure and expectation,” says Leif Gyllenberg, CEO for the Nordics at Orange Cyberdefense. “Kåre has played a key role in establishing our nationwide presence so we can professionally support organizations close to where they operate. With the rapidly evolving threat landscape, increasing demand for digital services, and a significant skills shortage in cybersecurity, it is more important than ever that we support organizations in ways that contribute to a safer digital society.”
