After eight years at Catella, I understand that Marcus wants to look for new challenges outside of the company. I want to thank him for this time and wish him all the best with future challenges,” says CEO Knut Pedersen.

“Catella is now facing two important recruits where one, to the role of new CEO, has already begun and where we will immediately begin the recruitment of new CFO. My ambition is for the transition to take place as smoothly as possible, which we can ensure by the fact that both the current CEO and CFO continue to work well into 2020. I would like to thank both Marcus and Knut for their many important contributions to Catella’s development. Now we have the opportunity to recruit a new strong team that can continue the Catella growth journey.” says Catella’s Chairman Johan Claesson.
