Mobile commerce firm appoints HR director

Swedish company Payair, a global industry leader in mobile commerce, has employed Dan Akhagen (pictured) as HR director.

Akhagen assumes the role this week at Payair and will be responsible for both the recruitment of new staff and development of existing employees.

Akhagen has extensive experience of HR issues from both public and private sectors, and most recently the listed game developer Stabreeze.

Hakan Eriksson, CEO, Payair, said: "Payair is growing extremely quickly and has constant need for new skills. In such a situation, it is very important to have a focus on HR issues both in terms of recruitment and existing employees."

Akhagen said: "I know that the competition for system developers is fierce. It will therefore be interesting to work in a fast-growing company like Payair and have the challenge of recruiting new skills and preserving the human resources we have."
