RNB Retail and Brands AB's business area Departments & Stores has appointed Lars Jungerth as new CEO from January 14, 2020. Lars thus replaces Yvonne Magnusson.

He has been Marketing Director for Canal Digital, Marketing and Sales manager for Expert Sweden and Logistics and IT Director for Venue Retail Group. From Venue Retail Group he has a good understanding of the NK business's business model.

With the recruitment of Lars, we are strengthening the conditions for the implementation of the ongoing change work and also those required for the business going forward."

Lars Jungerth, incoming CEO of Departments & Stores, says “The ongoing change work is complex but with great potential. My experience in a wide range of functions enables me to work in depth with changes in the business processes. This creates the conditions for completing the extensive ongoing change work and further development of the business.”
