Leadership transition and executive structure
Daniel Ek will become Executive Chairman in January 2026, transitioning from CEO, with a more active role than a typical U.S. chairman, focusing on long-term strategy, capital allocation, and coaching the leadership team.
Gustav Söderström and Alex Norström, both co-Presidents, will be appointed as Co-CEOs and join the board, pending shareholder approval, formalizing a structure in place since 2023.
The Co-CEO structure reflects the operational reality, with both sharing leadership and responsibilities since 2023.
The board will remain focused on competence and business understanding, with three insiders out of eleven members.
A live Q&A session regarding the transition is scheduled for September 30, 2025.
Strategic vision, priorities, and growth opportunities
Growth remains the top priority, focusing on expanding in populous regions like Asia and Africa and increasing the subscriber base beyond the current 3% of the global population.
Continued innovation in product, technology, and content verticals (music, podcasts, audiobooks, and video) is central to the strategy.
AI and new form factors are seen as major macro opportunities, with the aim to turn these into tailwinds for the business.
The leadership team is committed to relentless product improvement and delivering more value to users.
Ek emphasizes the company's global impact and his ongoing commitment to long-term vision and mentorship.
Operational approach and leadership continuity
The Co-CEOs will maintain their current divisional responsibilities: Norström on business, markets, and content; Söderström on product and technology.
The leadership team operates as a single, integrated unit, emphasizing collaboration and complementary skills.
The company is leveraging a highly tenured team and drawing on external inspiration to drive future growth.
The transition is described as an evolution, not a disruption, with continuity in leadership style and strategic direction.
The Board expresses strong confidence in the new co-CEOs, highlighting their 15+ years of experience and key roles in growth.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions
The Swedish streaming pioneer
Spotify's consumer app was launched in 2008, giving access to millions of songs, podcasts, audiobooks, and video content from artists and creators worldwide. Judging by its user base of over 400 million across 183 countries worldwide, Spotify has become the go-to platform for music streaming. An astonishing achievement considering the competitive landscape, which includes some of the most powerful companies in the world such as Apple and Amazon.
A hub for podcasts
Spotify is also betting big on podcasts, challenging Storytel among others, and has paid big names like Joe Rogan and Bill Simmons for exclusive deals, which has boosted podcast listening on the platform enormously. Spotify now offers several millions of podcasts. Thus, it’s obvious that Spotify will be associated with more than “just” music in the future.
Serves not only the listeners
On the creator side of the platform, Spotify offers an array of tools for both musicians and podcasters that need assistance with production, distribution, and monetization. In fact, around 75 percent of new podcasts on the platform are created via Anchor, which Spotify acquired in 2020 for about 100 million dollars.
