“On behalf of ABB and all the members of our Board of Directors, I would like to thank Jacob for his significant contribution to the success of ABB, a leader in electrification and automation for almost 25 years. Our thanks also go to Gunnar, who has played a major role on our Board for the past six years. I wish them every success in their future endeavours. We look forward to welcoming Johan and Mats. With their experience as seasoned executives, particularly in industrial companies and decentralised operating models, they will perfectly complement the skills of our Board of Directors,” said Peter Voser, Chairman of ABB’s Board of Directors.
