Stockholm, Sweden – January 3rd, 2023. Surfboard Payments is pleased to announce the appointment of Tomas Ekroth to its Board of Directors.

Tomas Ekroth brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the Surfboard Board. He has a proven track record of success in expansion working as CFO at Espresso House Group contributing to steering the company from one to five countries, and from 123 to 500 shops. Before that Tomas worked as VP of Financial Planning & Group Business at SAS and for six years at McKinsey.

"We are thrilled to welcome Tomas to the Surfboard Board of Directors," said Christopher Lindfeldt, Founder & CEO of Surfboard Payments. "He brings a unique retail perspective and experience that will help guide our company as we continue to grow. We are confident that Tomas will make an important and valuable contribution to our team."
