- **Gustav Söderström** — Co-Chief Executive Officer

Twenty years ago, the music industry faced an existential crisis. Piracy was reshaping consumption, the old model was unraveling, and no clear path forward existed. Spotify was born from a simple but radical belief: that technology could reconnect artists and fans in a way that worked for both. Join Gustav for a look at the future of Spotify’s technological transformation across music, podcasts, and audiobooks, exploring how user control, creator innovation, and thoughtful technology are shaping the next chapter of entertainment.
