The Board of Directors has appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Cecilia Edström deputy CEO of Bactiguard, in addition to her current responsibilities.
”Cecilia Edström was recruited to Bactiguard ahead of the IPO in 2014 and has had several roles in the company since then. This means that she has acquired a broad and deep knowledge of Bactiguard’s business.
Cecilia has earlier been a member of the executive management teams of both Scania and TeliaSonera and in her current role as CFO, she has become an important partner to me in the management team of Bactiguard. She takes great responsibility for strategy and business development and it is therefore a natural step to appoint her deputy CEO of the company. The Board is very positive about the appointment, which contributes to increased seniority and stability in the management and we are all pleased that she accepted the role,” says Christian Kinch, CEO.
Cecilia Edström was born in 1966 and holds a degree in business economics from the Stockholm School of Economics. She started her career in corporate finance at Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken and was thereafter recruited to Scania ahead of the company’s IPO. At Scania, she was responsible for investor and corporate relations, business development, strategy and communication for a total of thirteen years in the company. In connection with Volkswagen’s acquisition, she left Scania and became Head of Group Communications at TeliaSonera.
Cecilia Edström owns 243,264 B shares in Bactiguard.
