Obeya appoints its first partner – Julia Karlsson
We are now expanding our ownership base and welcoming our first partner, long-time employee Julia Karlsson.
– Our employees are what makes Obeya, and we want to show our appreciation by offering partnership opportunities to our key people. We believe in building our company from within, and we do that by making our most vital team members partners, says Maria Hazard, CEO of Obeya.
Obeya has previously been solely owned by founders Maria Hazard and Canan Yasar, but the agency now plans to eventually allocate 20 percent of the company's shares to its employees.
– Obeya is on an exciting growth journey where several employees, myself included, have had the opportunity to grow with the company in various ways. Becoming a partner feels like a very rewarding and natural next step on that journey, says Julia Karlsson, Strategic Project Manager at Obeya.
– I am incredibly happy that Julia Karlsson is the first person to step in as a partner at Obeya! She is an experienced consultant who has been with the agency for nearly four years and is a significant force behind our success, Maria Hazard continues.
