I wish him all the best”, says Magnus Mandersson, Chairman of the Board Directors at Karnov Group.

It has now become time for me to hand over to Pontus Bodelsson, who will take the company into its next phase”, says Flemming Breinholt.
“I look forward to take on the role as the new President and CEO of Karnov Group, a company I have followed closely in recent years.
