The Nomination Committee of the metrology company Hexagon proposes that the 2025 Annual General Meeting elects Björn Rosengren as new Vice Chairman of the company's Board of Directors. This is stated in a press release.
Björn Rosengren was until this summer CEO of the industrial company ABB. Prior to that, he held the same role at Sandvik. The proposal means that Björn Rosengren is appointed with the intention of becoming chairman when Ola Rollén leaves the board at the 2026 annual general meeting after 26 years.
- "I have spent most of my professional life running and developing Hexagon. It has been a great honor to lead Hexagon and it has given me great memories and good friends. However, I feel that the time is ripe for me to focus more time on other projects in life, which is why it is time to hand over to a new management and board. I wish Björn every success in his new challenge to take Hexagon into the next phase," says Ola Rollén, Chairman of the Board of Hexagon.
