New GN management team announced as governance restructuring seeks “simpler, faster and more powerful way to run company”

Underlining the attractiveness of the markets in which the group operates, new CEO Peter Karlstromer announced the purpose of the shake-up, which sees former CEO Gitte Aabo move out of the picture: “Our new organisation will ensure a strong customer and business focus, while also allowing us to capture further innovation and scale benefits from shared functions across our company. This is a simpler, faster and more powerful way to run our company, and will bring tangible benefits to all stakeholders over time.”

Simplicity comes to GN in the form of a three-way division, with accountability for customer and business success, namely Hearing, Enterprise, and Gaming & Consumer. The divisions will be supported by strong group-wide functions to drive scale across the company: Finance, HR, R&D, Operations, IT, and Strategy & Transformation.

The new CFO is Søren Jelert, whose career spans roles at Maersk Oil & Gas, Novo Nordisk, NNE Pharmaplan and, at GN as CFO of ALK-Abello.
