STOCKHOLM--Telia Co. AB said Monday that it has merged its communications, brand and sustainability functions and appointed Ola Rembe to head the unit.

The Swedish telecommunications operator said Mr. Rembe will assume his position in March.

"Due to his knowledge of our sector and track record at Ericsson and most recently as partner at Kekst CNC, he will play a critical role in communicating the full breadth and potential of Telia's leading networks and services, while leading our contribution to a climate-neutral future," Telia Chief Executive Allison Kirkby said.

Rachel Samren, currently senior vice president, chief external affairs and trust officer, will leave the company while Per Carleo, currently senior vice president, head of brand, will report to Mr. Rembe.
