Bo Carlsson, currently President of Sweco Western Europe, will be taking on the position as senior advisor reporting directly to Åsa Bergman.
Åsa Bergman: "Bo Carlsson has been tremendously important for the development of the Sweco group. With 28 years within the company, his understanding of the Sweco model is unmatched. From a personal perspective, I have very much enjoyed working closely together with Bo and I am happy that he will stay as my senior advisor.”
