The number of employees has doubled to 21,000. Since the acquisition of BfG and the three Baltic banks, half the staff is outside the borders of Sweden. We find ourselves in an intense process of change, where Internet is at its centre. The organisation has been structured into four main groups: Nordic Banking, Asset Management & Live (life), BfG and Other Operations," says Lars H Thunell, President & CEO of SEB. "It therefore feels right that we follow this by creating a smaller, more efficient-running Executive Committee - and at the same time we have created broader representation within Group Management.
