A former speechwriter for the Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson has joined satellite technology and services company AAC Clyde Space as its new head of communications for investor relations and public affairs.
Håkan Tribell, who also previously worked at the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce and served as director of ideas at the Nordic think tank Timbro, will join the Stockholm-listed company effective January 7, 2025. He will be responsible for building links with a range of stakeholders, including shareholders.
Speaking about his new job, Tribell says that what excites him most about the company is ‘the positive impact we can have on planet Earth’ via new technological advancements.
‘The data our satellites provide offers, among other things, unique opportunities to understand weather patterns, enhance forestry management and optimize maritime shipping,’ he adds. ‘These advancements are crucial for both people and the climate.’
Luis Gomes, CEO of AAC Clyde Space, says in a press release: ‘Bringing Tribell on board strengthens our relationships with shareholders and stakeholders. His expertise in building robust stakeholder networks and communication abilities is crucial for continued growth as a strong, profitable and expanding new space company.’

During his time at Sharron Merrill, he helped work on Clean Harbors’ 2023 investor day event, which won an award at the IR Magazine Awards – US 2024.
Writing on LinkedIn, he says he is ‘thrilled’ to step into his new role on the back of ‘six years of progressive and in-depth experience’ in the field of investor relations.
Rhoades adds: ‘[I’m] looking forward to new challenges, growth, and making an impact!’
