Hasselblad appoints a new CEO, again



Another shake-up at Hasselblad after the rumors that the company was acquired by DJI - Paul Bram was appointed as a new interim CEO, which means that this was not really a planned move and a new permanent CEO is yet to be announced.

Maybe the reason for the new CEO is that the Hasselblad X1D is still nowhere to be found after multiple delays.
