Wihlborgs strengthens its organisation
Wihlborgs has recruited Ulrika Hallengren as Director of Projects & Development.
She will take up her duties on 1 February. Ms. Hallengren has been the Managing Director of Fastighets AB ML4, a joint venture between Wihlborgs and Peab, since 2010. Her responsibilities as Managing Director included overseeing the construction of the synchrotron light laboratory Max IV in Lund, the largest ever research facility in Sweden. Prior to this, she worked with the project management of complex projects for the consulting firm Tyréns.
Ms. Hallengren will take up her new position on 1 February 2015 but will remain responsible for Max IV until mid-year, when the project will be completed. She will also become a member of Wihlborgs’ Group Management.
“We are pleased to welcome Ulrika on board as Director of Projects & Development,” says Anders Jarl, CEO of Wihlborgs Fastigheter. “A key part of our operations comprises project activities through which we have created substantial profits over the years. We have searched for the right individual to fill this managerial role and I am fully convinced that Ulrika, with her strong leadership style and extensive knowledge of project activities, is an excellent choice.”
“We would also like to congratulate Ulrika for an extremely well-executed job with Max IV. Despite the size and complexity of the project, it was completed ahead of schedule and significantly below budget,” concludes Anders Jarl.
The change means that from 1 February, Wihlborgs’ Group Management will comprise the five following people:
Anders Jarl, Chief Executive Officer
Arvid Liepe, Chief Financial Officer
Anna Nambord, Director of HR and CSR
Iréne Johansson, Director of Corporate Communication
Ulrika Hallengren, Director of Projects & Development
