Catella’s president and chief executive Johan Ericsson has been appointed as the new head of corporate finance, one of the two operating segments in the company.
The role will be shared with a person who is to be recruited. The dual leadership structure will enable Catella to focus both on current operations and on business development.
Anders Palmgren will leave his position as head of corporate finance and, as a consequence, his position in the group management of Catella as of today.
As previously communicated Knut Pedersen will succeed Ericsson as president and CEO on 1 January 2014. Ericsson will continue at Catella as responsible for the corporate finance operating segment together with a future colleague.
“We are very pleased that Johan Ericsson will be heading our corporate finance business. Johan has been instrumental in building Catella’s strong presence, especially within property,” says Johan Claesson, chairman of the board.
A process will be initiated to recruit a second person to head the corporate finance business, who will share the responsibilities with Ericsson in a dual leadership structure.
