Cordovan Group recruits Thomas Lindfors - and starts up Cordovan Business Consulting in London, Brussels, Stockholm and Gothenburg

Cordovan Group, a rapidly growing management and consulting firm, is now establishing a Business Consulting division and has recruited Thomas Lindfors as Managing Director. Thomas Lindfors worked most recently for Ericsson, where he was in charge of Ericsson's global training operation encompassing 500 employees. He previously worked as a management consultant with a focus on organizations and strategic issues.

Business Consulting will consist of a small number of hand-picked top consultants in addition to the merger of Cordovan's former divisions, Branding and Value Management. From the outset, this new division has established offices in London, Brussels, Stockholm and Gothenburg. By the end of the year, the division is estimated to have 20 employees within the specialist areas of Digital Branding & Strategies, Change Management, Process Excellence, Strategic Planning & Organization Development, and Branding and IT Management. In the Performance division, the Cordovan Group has retained HR, Leadership, sales development, Talent Management, training and coaching, while the area of communication encompasses the Digital and Marketing divisions.

Cordovan Group estimates that its turnover this year, prior to additional acquisitions, will amount to SEK 200 million. Over a business cycle, the target is an operating margin of 13%.
