Ansgar brings 26 years of experience in finance, having worked at Volvo Cars, Volvo Cars China, Polestar, and Geely Sweden Holdings. He joins the board alongside Lars Seier Christensen, Ueli Maurer, Simone Monnerat, and Nibras Stiebar-Bang. The appointment comes four months after Concordium's Agent Registry went live, allowing AI agents to have verifiable owners. Ansgar's expertise in managing carmaker finances will be invaluable as vehicles begin to pay for their own services, such as tolls, charging, and insurance, through blockchain technology.",
