Christina Rogestam, who has been Chairman of the Board of Directors for 18 years, has declined re-election. The nomination committee has proposed that the new Chairman should be Sten Dunér, who has been on the company’s Board since 2007. Carin Kindbom is proposed as new Board member.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Christina for her entire 18 years as Chairman of the Board. The nomination committee is convinced that Sten, with his extensive experience in corporate governance and leadership, is the right person to take over the Chairman’s role on the Board. With Carin as a new member and with her solid background, we in the nomination committee look forward with confidence to following Balder’s continued journey,” says Jesper Mårtensson, chairman of the nomination committee.

Sten Dunér, born in 1951, has a Bachelor of Science in Economics and has been a member of the Board since 2007. At present, Sten is Chairman of the Board at Länsförsäkringar Liv as well as Board member at Garbo and Humlegården. Sten has worked primarily in banking and insurance throughout his career. His last operational assignment was as CEO at LFAB.
