Leadership Transition in Sales & Marketing at Ovako

After a constructive dialogue, Ovako and Mathias Tillman have agreed that he will transition from his role as EVP Group Sales & Marketing. 

Mathias has made significant contributions to our global sales organization over the years, including his leadership in advancing Ovako towards a more efficient and commercially focused model. We sincerely thank him for his dedication and efforts in strengthening our commercial operations. 

Until a successor is appointed, President & CEO Marcus Hedblom will take on the role on an interim basis to ensure continuity and to further enhance Ovako’s commercial approach. The company remains fully committed to delivering the highest level of expertise, service, and value to its customers and partners.
