Esmaeilzadeh Holding and Lyvia resolve on management changes
Esmaeilzadeh Holding AB (publ) (“EHAB”) and Lyvia Group AB (“Lyvia”) has today resolved to implement certain changes to their respective management teams. Sebastian Karlsson, currently CEO of Lyvia, has been appointed new Chief Executive Officer of EHAB. Martin Almgren, currently CFO and Deputy CEO of Lyvia, will assume the role as new Chief Executive Officer of Lyvia. Mikael Ericson will continue to work with EHAB as senior advisor.
"As Lyvia now enters its next phase, it’s natural that Martin, with many years of experience from listed environment and strong support across the organisation, takes the helm. I look forward to continue to work with Lyvia in my new role at EHAB,” says Sebastian Karlsson, incoming CEO of EHAB.
“With Lyvia’s recently extended banking agreement and strengthened balance sheet, we have created solid conditions for the years ahead, and I am excited to lead Lyvia into its next phase. In my current role as CFO and Deputy CEO, I have worked closely with the business and driven several key initiatives, and I now look forward to continuing to develop Lyvia together with the organisation, with full focus on execution and long-term value creation,” says Martin Almgren, incoming CEO of Lyvia.
Mikael Ericson will retain all board assignments for EHAB and further be engaged by EHAB as a senior advisor under a consultancy agreement.
“These changes are very positive. Sebastian and Martin are both strong leaders, and I am convinced this is the right step for both EHAB and Lyvia. For my part, I am pleased to be able to continue contributing to EHAB as advisor, and through my board assignments in Lyvia, Novedo and Rebellion,” says Mikael Ericson.
The changes will take effect as of 1 March 2026. A recruitment process to appoint a new CFO for Lyvia will be initiated immediately.
