"I am very pleased to welcome Jenny as a member of the executive team," noted Ericsson CEO Börje Ekholm. "Jenny takes on this role at a pivotal time for Ericsson and the industry as we drive towards realising the full potential of 5G technology by solidifying our leadership position in mobile networks. Under Jenny's leadership and leveraging her commercial and operations experience, I see an opportunity for Ericsson to further grow and shape the future of our business in Europe and Latin America with our leading customers," he added. Lindqvist, who has been at Ericsson since 2010, succeeds Stefan Koetz, who stepped into the role as acting head of the unit in July 2022, after the previous head of Europe and Latin America, Arun Bansal, left last Spring to become CEO of Adani Airports in India. Koetz will become head of strategic projects for market area Europe and Latin America.
