One day after taking the reins of Ericsson’s embattled legal team, Chief Legal Officer Scott Dresser made his public debut Tuesday morning in an update call with shareholders ahead of the company’s annual meeting next week.
Executives of the Stockholm-based telecom giant faced sharp questions from investors on the call, which came just weeks after the U.S. Department of Justice told the company that it had failed to fully disclose its misconduct in Iraq before signing a 2019 agreement settling a sweeping corruption case and that it later breached that agreement through additional disclosure failures.
