Changes in Storskogen’s Group Management

Since Christer Hansson became CEO in February 2024, Storskogen has prioritised strengthening the company’s organic profit growth, profitability and cash flows. In parallel, a strategic review was conducted, which was presented at Storskogen’s Capital Markets Day in November 2024.

“Alexander’s contributions have been integral to our strategic review. One of its outcomes is that we will further sharpen our capital allocation and investment priorities going forward. I am pleased that we will continue to benefit from Alexander’s unique expertise and experience in the Investment Committee”, says Christer Hansson, CEO of Storskogen.

Alexander Bjärgård will serve as Chairman of the Investment Committee, comprising Storskogen’s executive management team. The chairmanship is an operational role, and Bjärgård, one of Storskogen’s co-founders, will remain a member of the company’s board of directors.

Johan Ekström, who has worked at Storskogen in close collaboration with Alexander Bjärgård since 2021, has been responsible for Storskogen’s M&A operations in Sweden and Finland. Before joining Storskogen, he held positions such as Business Area Head at Volati, member of Group Executive Management at Skandia, and partner at Accenture.

“Johan’s extensive experience and knowledge in M&A make him an ideal successor to Alexander Bjärgård, both within the management team and as the person responsible for Storskogen’s M&A at the group level”, says Christer Hansson.
