PostNord has a stated goal of becoming the preferred provider in the Nordic region and has invested in recent years in building an extensive Nordic terminal and delivery network.

– I look forward to continuing the important transformation journey Sweden is currently on and contributing to the ongoing work on the Nordic strategy. “PostNord is one of Sweden’s largest employers, and I am deeply honored to take on the role of CEO at a time marked by both challenges and great opportunities. With its strong customer focus, PostNord has everything it needs to succeed in its plan for profitable growth,” says Peter Gisel-Ekdahl.
