The former Danish Riksbank governor, Lars Rohde, has been selected by Alecta's nomination committee to be elected as the new chairman of the board of Alecta, at a board meeting that will take place in February.
Rohde was head of the Danish Riksbank between 2013-2023 and has previously been CEO of the Danish pension company ATP 1998-2013.
Alecta chair of the supervisory board, Kenneth Bengtsson, said Rohde has a “unique background and experience” to lead Alecta’s board and restore trust after a series of challenges at the company.
“Lars Rohde has not worked in Sweden before and that is something new for a chairman of the board of Alecta. His competence, experience and personality are of such a calibre that we feel safe with this proposal,” Bengtsson added.
The preparatory committee has called an extra board meeting on 6 February to elect a new board chairman. The regular Board of Directors meeting will now take place on 25 April. The preparatory committee's proposal is subject to customary examination by the Financial Supervisory Authority.
