Ericsson has appointed Ludvig Landgren as its new Head of Australia and New Zealand, effective as of today (1 May 2025).

According to the company, Landgren brings to his new role more than 25 years of experience in executive roles in sales and delivery across Europe and Asia Pacific. For the past five years, he has led Ericsson’s Cloud, Software and Services, and Enterprise unit for Southeast Asia, Oceania and India, which has seen him work extensively with service providers in Australia and New Zealand on driving digital transformation, automation and 5G monetisation.

Landgren succeeds Emilio Romeo, who has taken up a regional role as Executive Strategic Advisor focused on driving growth and transformation with Ericsson’s key customers in Southeast Asia. Landgren is relocating from Singapore to Sydney to take on his new role.

“Ludvig is a seasoned telecommunications executive with a deep understanding of the Australian and New Zealand markets,” said Andres Vicente, Head of Market Area Southeast Asia, Oceania and India, Ericsson.

“He brings valuable insight into how our customers, partners and government stakeholders can unlock the full potential of 5G — as a platform for innovation and a driver of tangible business outcomes. I am confident that under Ludvig’s leadership, we will strengthen our position and accelerate 5G value creation for our customers across Australia and New Zealand.”

“As early mobile technology adopters, including global frontrunners in 5G, Australia and New Zealand service providers are in a strong position to redefine how our industry creates and captures value,” Landgren said. “I’m looking forward to working alongside our local team, customers and partners to unleash the next wave of mobile innovation, for the benefit of consumers and enterprises.”
