It was SCA’s CEO Jan Johansson, 60, who recruited Magnus Groth, 51, to the company in 2011.
They were already friends and like each other.
Now Johansson is forced to step aside – and Groth takes over the company with 37,000 employees .
– He is friendly, easy going – easy going, just like Jamie, says a coworker of them Expressen.
After the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet examination of the house forestry and hygiene company SCA handled the private plane has begun rsvp hot on CEO Jan Johansson and Chairman of the Board Sverker Martin-Loof.
First step aside – including then he blamed the company to be bugged and that everything was “pinion wrong” – was Sverker Martin-Loof.
Many analysts have said that “now it’s Jan Johansson lucky” to leave the job.
Last week he said:
– Now there are two views which I welcome, so really we comment no more about our travels. But because the allegations are serious and I will comment on two specific points. Obviously, the airline accurate passenger lists. And I am confident that we have good track of our accounts.
But today, Tuesday, he and the board had enough and Johansson threw in the towel.
Magnus Groth was a touted successor.
– He has a solid background in industry and the energy issues, which is important for a large consumer as SCA. In addition, he presented himself as a very skilled in their job boss of SCA’s software business in Europe. In short, he’s a whiz at selling diapers, incontinence pads and toilet paper, says a colleague.
Magnus Groth has – like Jan Johansson – a history in Vattenfall and nuclear power company, Studsvik in Nyköping Municipality.
He is both an MBA and MSc.
In a press statement, he says:
– It is a great confidence to lead SCA and it is with pride that I have accepted it responsibility. I am also humbled by the task. Now we will continue from the current position as a world leader hygiene and forest products company, continuously developing SCA forward.
