Metro International: Anders Kronborg joins Investment AB Kinnevik as Chief Operating Officer
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metro International S.A. ("Metro") today announced that Anders Kronborg,
currently Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") for Metro, will join the management
team at Investment AB Kinnevik ("Kinnevik") as Chief Operating Officer ("COO").
Anders Kronborg has been CFO in Metro since 2008. Prior to joining Metro, Anders
gained extensive experience from the financial operations of media businesses
including serving as the CFO of Danish Broadcaster TV2 as well as numerous
executive positions with Danish newspaper group Berlingske Media A/S. Anders
Kronborg will take up his new position at Kinnevik as from 1 May 2012. As COO,
Anders's responsibilities will continue to include the financial tasks of Metro
but he will also focus on some of Kinnevik's other assets.
"This move is a logic step after Kinnevik's take-over of Metro and indeed one of
the cost-saving measures that was anticipated following the bid and the take-
over. Anders will continue to be very much involved in Metro's daily business
but since Metro will no longer have to focus on investor relation issues, Anders
will also have time at hand for other tasks. I am sure he will be a very
valuable asset to Kinnevik, as he has been and will continue to be for Metro",
says Per Mikael Jensen, President and CEO of Metro.
