New CEO to drive NNIT’s continued strategic journey
Today, NNIT’s Board of Directors have entered into an agreement with Pär Fors who will join NNIT as CEO as of June 14, 2021. Pär Fors will replace Per Kogut who has served as NNIT’s CEO since 2007.
Chairman of the Board Carsten Dilling comments:
“To continue NNIT’s strategic journey and take NNIT into its next phase of development, the Board has decided that the time is right for a change in chief executive management. We wish to thank Per Kogut for his tremendous contribution to NNIT over the years and for making an unmistakable and positive mark on NNIT’s development. His great sense of loyalty, high level of energy and ambition as well as sharp customer focus are just a few of his many strong suits. I personally value our close cooperation, which has always been characterized by a very fruitful dialogue. We wish Per Kogut the best of luck in his future endeavors.”
