“Through his long career at SEB, Robert is well-rooted in SEB’s business and has broad experience of leadership and transformation,” says Johan Torgeby. “People are the core of SEB’s strategy going forward, and I’m looking forward to working closely with Robert as we now start executing on our 2030 Strategy and Business Plan for 2022-2024.”
