“Following his appointment as CFO this summer, Stefan Danieli has proven that he possesses the qualities required to assume the role of CEO and to forcefully drive our strategic restructuring with a positive momentum.

Peter Levin will remain in the company and take on the new role of Chief Strategy Officer, in which he will report directly to the company’s CEO.

“Goodbye Kansas Group has managed to overcome significant challenges and is developing positively in the studio business as well as in other areas. Together with the management team I will work to further develop our business focus, based on achieving accelerated profitability for long term value creation. I am grateful for the trust shown in my appointment, and look forward to a continued collaboration with Peter Levin, the Board and the new Executive Management team,” says Stefan Danieli.

Stefan Danieli was appointed the company’s CFO in August 2022. Peter Levin founded Goodbye Kansas Studios in 2014 and has been the company’s CEO since 2021.

“On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Peter Levin for his service as CEO while I am grateful that we can retain Peter and use his extensive sector experience and significant network for our strategic development of a number of projects where we see significant potential and long-term value creation,” says Per Anders Wärn.
