London, January 31, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––Eva Karlsson has been appointed Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer (COO) and will be a member of Saab’s Group Management team. Eva most recently comes from Dometic as President of Segment Land Vehicles for Europe, Middle East and Africa. She brings experience from previous operations and leadership roles within Dometic as well as from Assa Abloy and ABB. As a consequence, Saab’s Group Operational Excellence organisation will sort under the new COO role and Charlotta Björklund, currently Senior Vice President, Operational Excellence, will therefore leave the Group Management team as of 1 March 2025 and subsequently report to the COO. Eva Karlsson will assume the position on 1 August 2025 at the latest.
The business areas within Saab are experiencing strong growth and are as a consequence taking increased responsibility for their respective strategic priorities. Hence, the scope of the Group Strategy function is reduced and will become more focused on the common strategic areas of Saab. Therefore, Christian Hedelin, currently Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, will leave the Group Management team and report to Anders Carp, Deputy CEO. This change will take effect on 1 March 2025.
Micael Johansson, President and CEO comments: “As Saab is in a transformative phase, it is natural to make changes in responsibilities and organisational structures. I want to thank Charlotta and Christian for providing great value in the Group Management over the past years and I look forward to their continued contributions to the company in new roles. Moreover, I would like to welcome Eva to Saab and I look forward to having her join the team as a strong and experienced COO. Saab remains a strong growth company and with these changes we will be in even better shape to continue that journey.”
