Anders Scherlund and Viktor Fritzén have been elected as new members of the Board of Directors of Försäkringsaktiebolaget Avanza Pension. Anders Scherlund has a long background in banking and insurance, including in operations and on the board of Nordea Liv & Pension and as Partner at Addeno, where he works with change initiatives in different organisations.
