Leadership Shakeups in Swedish Companies Mark September 1, 2025

In a series of significant leadership changes announced on September 1, 2025, several prominent Swedish companies have refreshed their executive teams.

Magnus Andersson has been appointed as the new CEO of KB Components, effective immediately. He succeeds Stefan Andersson, who is stepping into the role of chairman. This management transition signifies a strategic shift for the company as it adapts to future challenges.

Similarly, Svensk Fastighetsförmedling has appointed Erik Wikander as its new CEO. Wikander, who formerly held the position of vice CEO, is taking over as Liza Nyberg moves to lead the company's parent organization, Korall. Nyberg will also serve on the board of Svensk Fastighetsförmedling, which operates around 230 local real estate offices across Sweden. Wikander expressed his excitement about leading the company during a time of dynamic industry growth, stating, "Att få förtroendet från styrelse och koncernchef att ta över stafettpinnen och leda SF in i framtiden i en spännande fas av dynamisk utveckling av branschen känns oerhört inspirerande."

Additionally, Sofia Svavar has been hired as the new head of investor relations at EQT's niche bank, Enity. Her appointment comes as Enity aims to enhance its investor relations following its recent stock market listing in summer 2025. Svavar will work under the leadership of Madeleine Lundberg to bolster the bank's communication with investors.

These changes illustrate a broader trend of organizational restructuring among Swedish firms as they prepare for future market landscapes.
