He joined Credit Suisse from JPMorgan, where he spent seven years, latterly as a Managing Director and head of the European Media Equity Research team.

Prior to this Nick worked at Arthur Andersen (now Deloitte) as a Partner in Financial Consulting Services advising primarily TMT companies on strategy, operations, marketing, international expansion, M&A, investment and valuation.

The Board thanks Staale for his significant contribution and wishes him the best in his future endeavours.

Barry Moat, Chairman of Mporium, said:
