Reshaping its leadership structure for the first time in nearly two decades, Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE:SPOT) said founder and CEO Daniel Ek will transition to executive chairman next year, while co-presidents Gustav Söderström and Alex Norström will assume co-CEO roles on Jan. 1.
Rosenblatt Securities analyst Barton Crockett called the move “minimally disruptive.” Ek has ongoing influence through dual-class shares and voting control with co-founder Martin Lorentzon.
