June 16, 2005

As of 15 August, Bertil Hult will take up the position of CEO of Vinge Stockholm.

By establishing the position of a CEO at the Stockholm office, Vinge is increasing its focus on the operational management and strategic business development.

By recruiting an external CEO, Vinge Stockholm is making a strategic investment in order to improve the ability to meet future demands. We are very happy that we have been able to recruit such a strong leader and I am convinced that Bertil Hult will be a great asset to Vinge’s continued development as the leading business law advisor, Bertil Villard continues.

- I am looking forward to working with my new colleagues at Vinge  during a time of exciting challenges, says Bertil Hult. The ambition will be to maintain and strengthen Vinge’s market position over the long term.
