InterEasts new Head of IT & Engineering

To take lead as Head of IT & Engineering in the venture of developing the booking portal Elise, InterEast recruited Daniel Asplund, who previously worked as IT Manager at Inteleon SMSPARK.

InterEast has steadily evolved from being a niche transport company by broadening its portfolio in the last couple of years. So far, the biggest enterprise has been the development of a next-generation booking portal, Elise, that will hit the market in 2022. To take lead as Head of IT & Engineering in this venture InterEast recruited Daniel Asplund, who previously worked as IT Manager at Inteleon SMSPARK.

– I found the role interesting since it combines many different aspects of a modern tech role within management and also comes with challenges to deliver in different business areas, leadership, and new innovative thinking. I’m looking forward to taking part in changing the mindset of this market. To do this journey together with our growing team is the most exciting aspect of all, says Daniel Asplund.
