CFO leaves Actic Group

Gustav Vadenbring, has decided to leave after five years as CFO for Actic Group. He remains in his current position as CFO until leaving the company during the autumn 2017. A process for recruiting his successor begins immediately.

"Gustav Vadenbring took up his position as CFO shortly after our main owner IK lnvest acquired Actic in 2012. For five years, he has played a central role and has been instrumental in developing the company to where we are today. He has also responded to significant effort in connection with the stock exchange listing, a work that has also meant a high workload for a long time. I wish to express my great appreciation for his efforts in Actic", says Christer Zaar, President and CEO of Actic Group.

After finishing the employment at Actic, Gustav will start service as an Industry and Corporate analyst within the International Credit analysis team at SEB.
