”We are very pleased that Paula has accepted the position as new CEO of P27. Paula is bringing a long track record of successful transformation journeys as well as deep knowledge and vast experience in the payments, cash management and transaction banking area which will serve the phase of transforming P27 into a solid company under supervisory scrutiny, with a respected place in the financial system of the Nordic countries.”

“At the same, we want to thank Lars for his effort in bringing P27 to where we are today. With the challenges ahead and move towards the next phase of P27 with focus on execution, we have mutually agreed with Lars that it is time to pass on the baton – and we are confident that Paula is the right candidate to lead P27 going forward”, says Martin Anderson, Chairman of the Board.
