​Jan Kilström to leave Green Cargo for a CEO post in another industry

After five years as the CEO of Green Cargo, Jan Kilström has decided to leave the company to take up a new CEO assignment in the autumn.

“I have greatly appreciated my time at Green Cargo and I am very proud of all we have achieved. During this time, we have significantly improved the company’s results. I have, however, received an exciting offer that I could not refuse, the details of which I am unable to disclose at present,” says CEO Jan Kilström.

“Jan Kilström has used his drive and commitment to do a very good job developing Green Cargo and in managing the challenges the company has faced. He has made a significant contribution to the substantial improvement in the company’s performance and in restructuring it into a more efficient organization. I respect his decision to leave and to start a new phase in his career. On behalf of the Board I would like to thank him for his efforts and the part he has played,” says Chairman Jan Sundling.

“After so many years, it is with mixed feelings that I leave Green Cargo. This, however, is the right time for me to leave and to allow a new leadership to steer the company’s continued progress. I would like to thank the Board for their confidence, but most of all, I would like to thank all the fantastic employees at Green Cargo,” concludes Jan Kilström.

The recruitment of a new CEO has started.
