Nacka Strand (pta017/07.06.2017/11:15 UTC+2) STOCKHOLM IT VENTURES AB APPOINTS WAYNE LOCHNER AS GROUP CHAIRMAN

Nacka Strand, Sweden; June 7, 2017; Stockholm IT Ventures AB has appointed Wayne Lochner as Group Chairman. Mr Lochner began his career in Asia as a financial broker for United News and Media before being appointed as CEO for the Middle East and Asia and Australia regions. After 20 years living and working in Asia, he returned to the UK and founded Affinity Internet Holdings Ltd. ("Affinity") in 1995 with the aim of establishing a company that specialised in the provision of branded fixed mobile and internet services through a revolutionary 'White Label' concept. This led to the establishment of strategic partnerships with Cisco, Cable and Wireless, Fujitsu, Vodafone and BT, and through this concept, Affinity became one of the fastest growing listed companies in the UK, with the share price rising from seventy pence to over eighty pounds sterling in nine months under his guidance. In June 2000 Mr Lochner won the Ernst & Young award for 'London's E-Business Entrepreneur of the Year' and in 2001 he was selected as a finalist at the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) Awards in the 'Entrepreneur of the Year' category. Following a number of entrepreneurial ventures he co-founded Fantrac Global Ltd. which has been recently acquired by Stockholm IT Ventures AB.
