Varnish Software, a leader in caching, streaming, and content delivery software solutions, today has announced the appointment of Fredrik Borg as its new Chief Executive Officer. In his new role, Borg will build upon Varnish Software’s latest achievements while driving continued expansion across the global content delivery market.
The new appointment underscores Borg’s remarkable accomplishments and expertise leading operations across the telecom industry, where he has driven significant growth and innovation for more than 15 years.
Notably, at the large Nordic telecom infrastructure provider, Global Connect, Borg led a pivotal scale up effort. Guiding a team of more than 550 professionals over four years, he tripled revenues, quadrupled earnings, and spearheaded one of the top five largest total infrastructure projects in the Nordics. He was also instrumental at the multinational telecom firm, Telenor, where he led its multi-million-dollar operations for mobile networks, broadband and TV.
As CEO, Borg succeeds Lars Larsson, who led Varnish Software for over 10 years and transformed the company from a project at Redpill Linpro, founded on a strong open-source community, to a globally utilized enterprise software platform relied upon by countless top brands. Today, Varnish’s customers include Hulu, Emirates, Tesla, Sky, Migros, CBC, Future and many more.
“I am very excited to join Varnish Software and am deeply impressed with what Lars and the team have achieved so far,” said Borg. “Given the unique position that Varnish fills as a leader in caching and content delivery, I am convinced we will continue to grow the business profitably. More importantly, we will continue to focus on listening closely to our customers and evolving to meet their diverse needs.”
