The Board has appointed Ann-Kristin Erkens as interim CEO of SIG. Ann-Kristin assumes this position with immediate effect while continuing to serve as SIG’s Chief Financial Officer.
Ola Rollén, Chair of the Board, said: “We have a new board composition at SIG since this year’s AGM in April. The Board has used that time to review the strategy of the Company and we are confident that there is potential to accelerate growth and deliver improved performance. We are now looking to step change our execution with new leadership. Hence the Board has initiated the process of recruiting a new CEO. In the meantime, day-to-day operations will be overseen by Ann-Kristin Erkens, with the full support of myself and the Board. The Board would like to thank Samuel Sigrist for his 20-year tenure with SIG and his last 4.5 years as CEO. Samuel has made many positive contributions to the results and strategy of the Company. The Board wishes him every success for the future.”
