Bodil Eriksson to leave Axfood

Bodil Eriksson, Executive Vice President of Axfood AB, has decided to leave Axfood for a position as head of Communications at SCA, starting on 1 September. Eriksson has served at Axfood since 2000, when the Axfood Group was created, and has been responsible for Corporate Communications, Investor Relations and Brand Strategy.

“These have been five very eventful and exciting years at Axfood, which will always be special for me,” says Eriksson. “With my previous experience I have solid knowledge of consumer goods and production, which I can bring to the fore at SCA. A global operation such as SCA’s holds new challenges for me.” Mats Jansson, President and CEO of Axfood, comments: “Bodil has been a key player in the build-up of Axfood’s communication since our start in 2000. Through her professionalism she has raised the bar at Axfood as well as in the entire retail food industry. Bodil has also played a key role in developing Axfood’s brands and new concepts, and in the introduction of these.” For further information, please contact: Bodil Eriksson, Executive Vice President, Axfood, +46-706 29 66 34 Mats Jansson, President and CEO, +46-8-553 998 10, +46-70-569 48 11 Images: www.axfood.se
