Oscar Tjärnberg appointed CEO of Lekmer
Qliro Group AB (publ) today announces that Oscar Tjärnberg has been appointed new CEO of the subsidiary Lekmer. Oscar assumes his new position with immediate effect and succeeds Niklas Jarl who will remain with the company during a transitional period. Oscar has extensive experience of e-commerce and B2C within consumer goods. He most recently comes from the role as CCO of Lekmer. Prior to this, he has held several senior positions, including deputy CEO of inkClub, Head of Online for Telenor Sweden as well as CEO of Vincent Shoe Store.
“Lekmer has suffered from operational challenges linked to its warehouse operations during the year, which has led to high fulfilment costs. The company has therefore launched initiatives during the year focusing on increased efficiency. However, the efforts have not provided the desired effect and need to be further intensified. We are therefore pleased to be able to now appoint Oscar Tjärnberg as new CEO of Lekmer. Oscar’s significant experience of logistics, change management and business development within e-commerce is well suited to Lekmer’s future development and current focus”, comments Marcus Lindqvist, CEO of Qliro Group.
