Spotify<\/a> named Saab<\/a> executive Christian Luiga<\/a> as its chief financial officer on Thursday, replacing Paul Vogel who left in March after an about eight-year long stint at the Swedish music streaming company. <\/p>\n

Luiga will join in the third quarter from Saab, the Swedish defense materials group where he was the finance chief<\/a> and deputy CEO for about four years. <\/p>\n

Until his arrival, Ben Kung – Spotify’s vice president of financial planning and analysis – will be the interim CFO.<\/p>\n

The appointment comes as the company doubles down on efforts to improve its profitability. It has laid off employees and increased prices of its plans. <\/p>\n

Spotify was planning to raise prices by between $1 and $2 a month in five markets including the UK and Australia by the end of April, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, with an increase planned for U.S. later this year.<\/p>\n

That would follow a price hike of about a $1 last year across several countries including the U.S.<\/p>\n

Spotify has also ventured into podcasts and audiobooks to grow its user base to 1 billion by 2030 and reduce its reliance on the music industry. Luiga has a notice period of six months and will stay until Oct. 3, Saab said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
