This new split will enable more focus on strategic markets, such as China and India. As from the first quarter 2016, the new split will be reflected in the Group’s financial reporting. · Global Manufacturing is separated from the previous Global Operations Division in order to further drive global optimisation, efficiencies, and increased volumes. “In a constantly changing global environment, we need to become more agile. The organisational change we announce today is a vigorous step to further strengthen our position in a more digital world. In addition, it will facilitate an improved succession planning as well as promote talent within the Company”, says Magnus Brännström, Chief Executive Officer and President. Based on the above changes, Oriflame’s new Group Management will consist of the following members: · Magnus Brännström, Chief Executive Officer and President, Member of the Corporate Committee · Gabriel Bennet, Chief Financial Officer, Member of the Corporate Committee · Jesper Martinsson, Senior Vice President and Head of Commercial Division and Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Member of the Corporate Committee · Michael Cervell, Senior Vice President Global Direct Sales · Thomas Ekberg, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Business Area Asia & Turkey · Emma Hågemo, Vice President Group Strategy · Stefan Karlsson, Senior Vice President and Head of Global HR · Johan Rosenberg, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Business Areas CIS and Latin America · Antonia Simon-Stenberg, Vice President Sustainability and Quality Management At the same time, two members of the former Group Management and a number of other senior executives, will leave Oriflame to pursue other interests. “On behalf of the whole Company, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our leaving colleagues for their big contribution to Oriflame and for their readiness to support us with their knowledge and experience during the handover period”, says Magnus Brännström. All the organisational changes are valid with full effect as of January 1, 2016.
