Ferrold holds an MSc in International Marketing & Management and a BSc in Economics & Business Administration from Copenhagen Business School. He is also certified in organisational coaching and development.
Opoint chairman Robert Söderling said, “Peter has an exceptional track record of building and scaling businesses internationally, with deep experience in leading high-performing teams and driving commercial excellence.

With a strong focus on product development, customer service, and data quality, I envision us strengthening our core even further while also growing the business and expanding into new markets, supporting more industries with deep, real-time news insights. In an overly noisy media world, the need for Opoint’s product is evident, and I look forward to exploring and seizing this opportunity together with the team.”
