(SIX) Search company Eniro has prioritized increased growth in the company in the appointment of Acting CEO Stefan Kercza. "Stefan Kercza has turned Denmark into growth and has an extremely strong sales focus. It is important for the stage we are ourselves in now. Now we have the order of the cost base, we have made a major part of our conversion from analog to digital, and we think he is suited, "said Chairman Lars-Johan Jarnheimer to SIX News during a telephone interview, saying that it will now last a external recruitment to find the person best suited for the CEO post. During the company's second quarter dropped the organic digital growth by 10 percent, mainly because of poor results from Sweden. Then added Denmark boss Stefan Kercza as head of Eniro.se, which now takes over as acting president and CEO. Jarnheimer aim at the Annual CEO post to be added within a few months, but he says that he has been involved in everything from 14 days in a six month process and that one is a little too positive in the time estimate. It may be that Kercza get to keep the item? "If he does a good job here and if he is still best suited against himself and he will be left behind. " Do you have someone to take over Eniro.se and Denmark after Stefan Kercza? "We'll see how Stefan wants structure, the question I can not answer at all today " Have you any comment to Johan Lindgren severance pay? "There is always a lot of money when you add up social security payments and pension and everything so that you get a stomach ache, but it is the agreement written with John when he stepped into the company. But the last 6 month is creditable so hopefully we will in the sum has been said. " "I think it may be around 14-15 million. Then we have option bits that actually earned in 2013 there is cost is already taken, but get some cash impact. It constitutes around five million crowns which he had earned in 2013 and may resolve afterwards, "said Jarnheimer regarding amount of severance pay. Do you think it was the right decision to replace Magdalena Farmer Country Manager Sweden, where she had to go for the same reason that Johan Lindgren? "If we want a different structure then we change the CEO., It becomes unsustainable if I comment on every decision he has taken. " It sounded at Johan Lindgren as it was a mutual decision set his place available? "We've had a discussion with Johan for growth and feel that we may not have enough focus on being able capitalize on the flow of traffic we have, and then I asked him if he could ask his resignation. It is not that we sitting on opposite mountain and screaming at each other. " "We should not forget what John has done, brought down the cost base with nearly 1.5bn and converted from analog to digital. We have come very far, it's just picking up the hat, "concludes Executives. Anton Wilén mailto: anton.wilen@six-group.se www.blogg.six.seSIXNews SIX News
