Tobieson appointed CEO of InCoax Networks
November 6, 2025
The Board of Directors of InCoax Networks has, in consultation with former CEO Jörgen Ekengren, appointed Jakob Tobieson as the new CEO effective immediately. Ekengren will remain as a senior adviser during a transition period.
Tobieson has served as Chief Operations Officer (COO) at InCoax since April 2023 and previously spent more than ten years at Telia Company. There, he held leadership roles as Sourcing Director with global responsibility for IT software and services, cloud services, and Telia’s procurement of mobile devices. Earlier in his career Tobieson worked at Tetra Pak.
Peter Agardh, Chair of the Board, commented: “After a period of intensive product development and technical validation, InCoax is now shifting its focus to market, scalability and profitability. Jakob Tobieson combines strong business drive with deep understanding of software and services, as well as hands-on experience in supply chains and partnerships. This makes him well equipped to lead InCoax into the next phase. At the same time, the Board would like to extend its warm thanks to Jörgen Ekengren for several years of dedicated work. The technology platform and structure that have been built form a strong base as the company now focuses on commercialisation.”
Tobieson, incoming CEO, added: “I am honoured by the trust placed in me to lead InCoax into its next phase. The company stands on a proven technology platform and has several ongoing trials with leading operators that demonstrate the significant potential our technology can create for both operators and end customers. With InCoax technology, broadband operators can achieve a substantially faster time-to-market compared with traditional fibre roll-outs, which in many areas are both costly and time-consuming. Our solution makes it possible to efficiently leverage the existing coaxial infrastructure already installed in hundreds of millions of homes worldwide. This creates major opportunities for faster and more cost-effective broadband deployment globally. Together with the Board and our employees, we will develop InCoax into a cost-efficient technology company with a clear growth profile and a strong position in the global build-out of high-speed broadband.”
InCoax says it is now focusing on scaling its business through partnerships and direct sales to Tier 1 operators and system vendors.
