Andreas Koch has been appointed Communications and IR director at Attendo, where he will have overall responsibility for the company’s external and internal communications and for investor relations. He will be a member of Attendo’s Executive Management team and take up his position after this summer.

Andreas Koch, 39, has a Master of Science in Business and Economics from the Stockholm School of Economics. Over the past 10 years, he has held a number of different managerial positions within communications. He is currently head of Investor Relations at SSAB and prior to this he was head of Communications at Carnegie Investment Bank and head of IR at SCA.

“Attendo was successfully listed during 2015 and we have high ambitions to raise our visibility vis-à-vis clients, customers and employees as well as in relation to shareholders and other stakeholders who are important in developing our activities. This is why we are now creating a joint function for communications and investor relations. I’m convinced that Andreas has the right qualities to be in charge of taking our communication to the next level,” said Henrik Borelius, CEO of Attendo.
