Change in the Fiskars Group Leadership Team – the Group-level position of Chief Sales Officer terminated

Fiskars Group plans to integrate sales operations into the Business Areas and is terminating the Group-level position of Chief Sales Officer, Europe and APAC (excl. China). As a result of this change, Gennady Jilinski will step out of the Leadership Team as of today and leave the company.

“We continue to strengthen the role of the Business Areas and their end-to-end accountability, as we have done with many actions within the past year. The ongoing integration of Georg Jensen presents a good and timely opportunity to further accelerate the optimization of current ways of operating. The brands, assortment and customers of Business Area Vita differ from those of Business Area Fiskars, which is why it makes sense for the sales operations to be more specialized as well.”

“I would like to thank Gennady for his valuable contributions in the Leadership Team and at Fiskars Group and wish him all the best in his next chapter,” says Nathalie Ahlström, President and CEO of Fiskars Group.
