CEO Jonas Wiström has informed the Board of Directors of his intention to step down as CEO during 2017. A recruitment process has been initiated to identify and evaluate internal and external candidates.

"After more than 14 years as CEO, I have reached a stage where I believe it is time to begin planning for a new CEO for ÅF. Accordingly, I am taking this initiative to give the Board of Directors as much notice as possible. I will naturally continue to work to my fullest until my last day as CEO and employee of ÅF," says Jonas Wiström.

"The plan is that once a new CEO has been appointed, Jonas Wiström will resign, as of which date a six-month period of notice applies. Jonas Wiström has also made clear that he is willing to be of service until such time as a new CEO assumes the position, and to do everything possible to contribute to a smooth transition. Jonas Wiström's approach in addressing this issue is a testament to his strength as a leader and commitment to the best interests of ÅF," says Anders Narvinger, Chairman of the Board.
