“After a careful recruitment process, it is gratifying to present Per Nilsson today as John Mattson’s new CEO. Given his breadth of experience from the property industry and his excellent leadership skills, the Board is convinced that Per is the right person to continue the growth that Siv Malmgren so successfully created a platform for. I would like to extend Per a warm welcome to John Mattson, and at the same time thank Siv Malmgren for her excellent achievements over 25 years at the company, 15 of them as CEO,” says Johan Ljungberg, Chairman of the Board of John Mattson.

John Mattson Fastighetsföretagen AB became a listed company in 2019. The company was previously family-owned by heirs to the master builder John Mattson. The company is now well-established on the stock exchange, and its growth journey continues.

“John Mattson is an excellent, well-run company with an exciting growth strategy. I look forward very much to taking over the reins as CEO and together with new colleagues and the Board continuing to develop the company. With my experience from several roles in the property industry as well as other industries, I can contribute to building the important structures that a growing company requires,” says Per Nilsson, the incoming CEO.

Per Nilsson will step into the role as CEO by 10 January 2022 at the latest.
