Getinge announced today that it appointed Agneta Palmér as chief financial officer.
Palmér will succeed Lars Sandström, who is leaving Getinge for a new opportunity outside of the company. Palmér most recently was the EVP of operations services at Getinge and has been with the company since 2018.
”I am very pleased that Agneta is taking over as CFO. She has extensive experience from finance in global operations and has in-depth knowledge of Getinge’s business. In addition, in her previous role, she has been involved in establishing our current finance organization, which she will now continue to develop,” Getinge President and CEO Mattias Perjos said in a news release.
Before becoming EVP of operations services, Palmér was VP of corporate control at Getinge. She held similar roles at AB Volvo.
Her appointment takes effect at the end of March when Sandström steps down.
”Lars has contributed with solid expertise and has been key in sharpening our global finance function and setting a culture of continuous improvement throughout the organization, which has been of great benefit to the company. I have appreciated Lars as a colleague and wish him all the best in the opportunity that has arisen outside of Getinge,” Perjos said.
