Swedish-headquartered logistics company Instabee has named Hanna Falk as its new chief people and culture officer.

Falk has broad experience managing people and culture issues within the IT and telecommunications industries and has worked in similar roles with a logistics chain and, most recently, with a game development company.

Instabee CEO and co-founder Alexis Priftis says Falk makes a great addition to the company.

Instabee was founded in 2022 when logistics companies Budbee and Instabox merged into one entity, servicing six European countries including Sweden, where Falk will be based.
