CEO TO STEP DOWN

Husqvarna Group has announced that Pavel Hajman has, by mutual agreement with the board of directors, decided to step down from his role as CEO and board member as soon as a permanent successor is appointed, likely in late 2025.

Pavel said, “As we approach the end of the Group’s current 2025 strategy period, the board and I feel it is time to recruit a longer-term successor who can lead the Group into the next strategy period, which will aim at 2030 and beyond. We are announcing this in advance of my departure date in order to give the Board ample time to identify and appoint such successor. Until then, I will continue to give my full dedication to the company. I would like to sincerely thank the board of directors, and my colleagues around the world, for having given me the privilege to lead this fantastic company for the last two and half years."
 
Tom Johnstone, chair of the board, said, “I would like to thank Pavel for his tremendous dedication and efforts in leading the Husqvarna Group during what has indisputably been some challenging years. He has led a number of bold initiatives, ranging from cost-efficiency measures to increased electrification, a greater focus on sustainability and a more digitalised organisation, all of which will form the groundwork for the company’s future."

Pavel Hajman joined Husqvarna Group in 2014, and has been CEO since May 2023.
