As previously communicated Lars Sandström has been appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and will take on the position as CFO Getinge as of January 2018. Lars Sandström replaces Reinhard Mayer who has decided to leave the company for personal reasons.

Niclas Sjöswärd joined Getinge in 2014 and is currently Chief Group Operations Officer and responsible for Indirect Purchasing, Shared Services, Real Estates and Program Management Office. Recently he has also been leading the process for the potential spin-off of the Business Area Patient & Post-Acute Care.
