Diplomat Group, which includes Diplomat Communications and Tale Content, has grown steadily over the past five years. Since 2020, the companies’ combined revenues have increased by 68 percent to SEK 82 million (2024), and the number of employees exceeds 40. Building on strong momentum, Diplomat Group is entering its next phase and strengthening its leadership through the appointment of three new CEOs. Klas Landelius will become the new CEO of the Diplomat Group, Hedda Lindselius will assume the role of CEO of Diplomat Communications, and Samir Akhmedov will take over as CEO of Tale Content.
Klas Landelius, new CEO of the Diplomat Group, comments:
“Evolution and renewal drive success in our industry, and we make sure to practice what we preach. Our niche at the intersection of media, business, and politics has grown significantly in both size and complexity in recent years, driven by the energy transition, a shifting geopolitical landscape, NATO membership, and green industrial investments. These forces not only fuel our growth but also challenge us to advance further. The time is right to initiate the next phase for Diplomat Group, with greater emphasis on senior and specialized advisory services and a growing organization. We are proud to appoint two exceptionally talented individuals, Hedda and Samir, to lead our companies.”
Hedda Lindselius, new CEO of Diplomat Communications, comments:
“I am proud to take on the leadership role at Diplomat Communications and be part of taking our successful business to the next level. The strategic expertise and strong drive of our advisors make us well equipped to meet the demands of a rapidly changing societal landscape. We will continue to strengthen our position as a market leader. I look forward to shaping the course of our continued expansion together with Tale.”
Samir Akhmedov, new CEO of Tale Content, comments:
“I am excited to be joining Tale Content at such an exciting stage in its journey. Over the years, the company has shown remarkable growth, and I look forward to building on that success. In today’s increasingly complex world, the link between communication, PR, and public opinion has never been more important for businesses. Tale has secured a strong market position, strengthened further by its collaboration within the Diplomat Group. This is a competitive advantage I am eager to develop even further,” says Samir Akhmedov.
Sonja Rasin, partner and former CEO of Diplomat Group, and Johan Bratt, partner and former CEO and founder of Tale, will continue in their roles as advisors. In addition, Sonja Rasin will lead Diplomat Group’s partner program and Johan Bratt will assume the role of Chairman of the Board of Tale.
