Anna-Karin Eklund new Chairman of the Board of FOJAB

FOJAB's owners have elected Anna-Karin Eklund as new Chairman of the Board. The Board has also been strengthened with a new external member, Agneta Rinman.

FOJAB is one of Sweden's leading architectural firms with a total of around 160 employees in Malmö, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Helsingborg. The assignments include architecture at all scales - investigation, planning and design of urban environments, buildings, landscapes and interiors. The company is owned by the leading architects.

At the last shareholders' meeting, Anna-Karin Eklund was elected as the new Chairman of the Board. She succeeds Ulf Pettersson who is leaving the Board after 14 years. Ulf will continue to act as financial advisor to the owner, board, CEO and management team to ensure stability and skills transfer.

Anna-Karin Eklund has 30 years of experience in the real estate industry and currently works in her own business with project management and consulting in urban development projects. She has been a member of FOJAB's board since 2014.

At the meeting, Agneta Rinman was also elected to the Board as an external member. Agneta has more than 30 years of experience in business development, strategy and leadership. She was previously active in the consulting industry and is currently CEO of KTH Executive School.

- For FOJAB, the external perspective is very important, we see that it strengthens us as a company. Anna-Karin Eklund and Agneta Rinman are two qualified people who will contribute valuable input and energy to the board work - and challenge us. I would like to thank Ulf for all the years together, because FOJAB has managed to maintain its stable position in a troubled market. Now I look forward to a continued good cooperation with the board with Anna-Karin as chairman, and to take on new challenges together," says CEO Daniel Nord.
