Sweco announced today that, as a supplement to its previously presented proposals, the company’s Nomination Committee proposes Åsa Bergman to join the Board of Directors.
Sweco’s Nomination Committee presented its proposals to the 2018 annual general meeting on 14 March 2018. The Committee proposes re-election of Gunnel Duveblad, Elaine Grunewald, Johan Hjertonsson, Eva Lindqvist, Johan Nordström and Christine Wolff and to newly elect Alf Göransson. Further, the Nomination Committee proposes that the annual general meeting re-elect Johan Nordström as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Anders G. Carlberg and Tomas Carlsson have requested to not be re-elected.

After eight years she was appointed regional manager to oversee Sweco’s project managers in northern Sweden, before being appointed president of Sweco Management in 2006.
