New leadership at Epidemic Group Wahlberg CEO Börsvik COO/CFO
New Leadership Ushers in an Era of Creative Tech Innovation at Epidemic Group
The world of digital content and media production is buzzing with news from Epidemic Group, the parent company behind the popular subscription service Epidemic Sound. The group has just announced a significant leadership transition, bringing in Erik Wahlberg as its new Chief Executive Officer, signaling an exciting pivot in the company’s strategic direction.
Wahlberg brings a dynamic background rooted in the cutting edge of video production technology. He is the founder and CEO of Blenda Labs, a highly regarded Stockholm-based company specializing in innovative video production tools. This connection provides a unique blend of creative vision and technological expertise that the company is poised to leverage.
This strategic synergy was cemented when Epidemic Group completed the acquisition of Blenda Labs in July 2026. This integration immediately placed Wahlberg at the helm, tasked with guiding the future growth and innovation of the entire group.
The transition also reflects a thoughtful redistribution of talent within the senior leadership team. Wahlberg takes the CEO role from Sara Börsvik, who will transition into a key joint leadership position, taking on the responsibilities of Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. This move ensures that both operational efficiency and strategic financial planning remain at the forefront of the company’s priorities.
This shift positions Epidemic Group to further enhance its commitment to delivering high-quality creative technology solutions. With the melding of established media services and pioneering production technology, the future promises even more creative possibilities for content creators worldwide.
