FOJAB recruits Susan Schack

Susan Schack, formerly Head of Sweden and CEO of Arkitema Sweden, joins FOJAB. Her mission will be to support the management and develop the growing company.

FOJAB is one of Sweden's leading architectural firms with offices in Malmö, Stockholm, Helsingborg and since 2023 also in Gothenburg. Since the turn of the year, FOJAB has recruited almost 30 new employees and is now a total of just over 170 employees.

Now the management team is also being strengthened. On November 1, Susan Schack joined FOJAB. Susan comes most recently from Arkitema Sweden, where she has been active since the start in 2007. Her role there has been to build up the business in Sweden and develop strategy, organization and competencies. In recent years, she has been both Head of Sweden and CEO.

Susan's mission at FOJAB will be to develop the growing organization with the aim of strengthening the company's market position.

- "We are very pleased to welcome Susan to FOJAB and to benefit from her knowledge and experience. We are in the middle of a restructuring of our business areas where Susan's experience will be valuable, not least when it comes to developing processes and ensuring coordination between the offices, says FOJAB's CEO Daniel Nord.

- "I have had a good impression of FOJAB for a long time, it is a stable and well-managed company with sympathetic values," says Susan Schack. "Not least the inclusive culture attracts me. The fact that staff turnover is low is a sign that people are happy. And it is of course a good basis for creating good architecture, when the employees are safe with each other and where knowledge is utilized and allowed to grow.

Born and raised in Denmark, Susan Schack graduated in economics from Copenhagen Business School, with a master's degree from Bocconi University in Milan. She then studied architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School of Architecture in Copenhagen.
