The Swedish government has appointed Lena Erixon the new Director General of FMV. She took up the new post on August 16th.
Lena Erixon was formerly Deputy Director General of the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket).
In a press release from the government, Minister of Defence Karin Enström says:
- It is gratifying that Lena Erixon is appointed Director General of FMV. She is qualified for the job and has extensive experience in large organisations, change management and operating large and complex projects.
Lena Erixon says:
- I look forward to, as new Director General, take part in leading FMV in the changes we're facing. I hope that my experience from Trafikverket and Vägverket can be a support, both in the authority reform when parts of the Defense Logistics function moves to FMV, but also in creating the conditions for a smooth functioning of defense materiel supply, says Lena Erixon.
