"Following several years of strong development, during which AcadeMedia has established itself as a quality leader and expanded to become Europe's largest education provider, we now want to strengthen the Board as we continue on this journey. We are convinced that these two new members will bring significant value, and we see their experience as a valuable addition to the Board's future work," says Rune Andersson, Chairman of AcadeMedia's Nomination Committee.

Annie Lööf is currently a Board member of GreenIron H2 AB, Nordbex AB, Astrid Lindgrens Vimmerby AB and Jönköping University Foundation, as well as CEO and owner of Annie Lööf AB, which provides advisory and lecture services.
