Thank you. Welcome to the QleanAir Investor Presentation for Q1 2025. My name is Sebastian Lindstrom; I'm the CEO of QleanAir. And joining me in today's call is Fredrik Sandelin, new CFO at QleanAir from 1st of April. Please, Fredrik, a few words to introduce yourself.
Thank you, Sebastian. My background, if I take the short version is that I have for 20-plus years, been either the CFO or the CEO of predominantly listed companies. For example, I've been Finance Director for Atos, I've been CFO for Scandic Hotels, IBS, and Eniro. And now I'm glad to be here and look forward to meeting you all.
So I'm very excited to have Fredrik on board. I expect that given Fredrik's background that we'll be able to accelerate our journey and faster improve our company. Fredrik and I will go through the presentation and then open up for Q&A towards the end.
