Jessica Koravos will join Pophouse in January 2026
STOCKHOLM, 4 July 2025: Pophouse Entertainment, the pioneering global entertainment and music investment firm, today announces Jessica Koravos as its new CEO, leading the company’s ambitious next phase of global expansion and its journey to become a world leader in music IP investment and development.
Jessica Koravos will join Pophouse as CEO in January 2026. A highly regarded international business executive with extensive experience and a proven track record of expanding entertainment and live production ventures globally, Jessica is well-positioned to oversee Pophouse’s next phase of growth. Previously, Jessica worked as President of Oak View Group International, as President of The Really Useful Group, and was also a member of the Board of ABBA Voyage.
Pophouse has successfully established itself as a globally recognised and trusted brand, underpinned by unique creative partnerships with some of the world’s most iconic artists, by continued investor confidence, and by the financial and cultural resilience required to scale internationally. The company, under Jessica’s leadership, will be focused on significantly expanding its portfolio and productions across the world, creating groundbreaking content at the intersection of music, entertainment, and technology.
Per Sundin, Pophouse’s current CEO, has played a crucial role in shaping the company’s strategic direction and building a strong foundation for long-term success. He will remain in his current role until Jessica joins and support a smooth and orderly process, before assuming a new role within Pophouse. His new role will be defined around his experience in and knowledge of the entertainment industry together with Jessica.
In her current role as President of Oak View Group, Jessica firmly established a strong international management team with operational hubs in London, Madrid, and Abu Dhabi, and she was responsible for overseeing the development and launch of the Co-op Live, now set to host the BRIT Awards’ historic move to Manchester in 2026.
Jessica Koravos, incoming CEO of Pophouse, said: “I am truly delighted to be joining Pophouse at this exciting time. Having seen Pophouse’s tremendous growth – driven by their compelling strategy, powerful partnerships with global artists, inspiring Board and excellent team. I look forward to driving the future expansion and success of the business.”
Lennart Blecher, Chair at Pophouse, commented: “This leadership transition represents a pivotal moment in Pophouse’s evolution and underscores the company’s mission to redefine the entertainment landscape. Jessica brings a proven track record of driving sustained growth across entertainment and live production ventures on a global scale, and her leadership in securing international licensing partnerships and delivering iconic IPs to audiences throughout Europe, Asia and the US aligns perfectly with our ambitious expansion goals – for example Mamma Mia! The Party and the upcoming KISS avatar show. I am truly thrilled to welcome Jessica to Pophouse.”
Lennart added: “I would like to thank Per for all he has contributed to put Pophouse firmly on the map. We are delighted that Per will continue to be a vital part of the team and we all at Pophouse look forward to continuing our collaboration.”
Pophouse has already secured landmark artist partnerships – including the legendary American rock band KISS, American Pop icon Cyndi Lauper, and groundbreaking Swedish EDM artists Avicii and Swedish House Mafia – and has an exciting pipeline of new collaborations and creative projects in the works, including the KISS Avatar show currently in development.
In March 2025, Pophouse announced the final close of its debut fund, Pophouse Fund I, having raised more than €1bn, reaching its hard cap and becoming one of the largest first-time private equity funds to be raised in Europe in the last decade, and the largest first-time fund in the Nordics. In addition, over €200 million was secured capital through dedicated co-investment vehicles, bringing the total fundraise to over €1.2bn.
