Meet our new Board members
Meet our new Board members, Linda Wikström and Karin Jarl Månsson and hear their initial thoughts about Coor.
Linda Wikström, what is your first impression of Coor as a company?
My impression of Coor is that it is a great and well-run company that has grown successfully organically and through acquisitions. Coor has made great progress in the area of sustainability work and enjoys a strong market position. The company has succeeded in creating and retaining a strong culture focused on people and entrepreneurship. Coor has excellent growth prospects and has the potential to develop in areas such as digitalization, sustainability and an improved customer experience.
In the end, it is all about people, particularly in operations such as Coor’s. The engagement of individual employees in each and every customer encounter is what creates quality in a service company. It is also about developing good customer relationships and building a contract portfolio that ensures healthy profitability, which Coor has succeeded in doing.
What can your experience contribute to Coor’s Board work?
I believe and hope that my experience of acquisition-driven growth, strategic development and goal management from Private Equity, combined with my experience with other decentralized service companies such as Bravida, Assemblin, AniCura and Cary Group (Ryds Bilglas) can benefit Coor.
In my role as CEO and COO at Cary Group I have focused sharply on strategic development in digitalization, sustainability, performance management and an improved customer experience – I believe and hope that there are common features in these areas where we can learn from each other.
I am passionate about how “soft” values such as culture, leadership and sustainability can actually strengthen traditionally “hard” values such as business acumen, entrepreneurship and results focus – helping people to work towards shared goals regardless of their position or location within the company.
Karin Jarl Månsson, what is your first impression of Coor as a company?
I have a very good impression of Coor, a company that succeeds in being both innovative and down to earth with sound values. Coor is active in an exciting business sector with many growth opportunities, both on the market and in terms of its offering of new services.
What can you experience contribute to Coor’s Board work?
I hope to share my experience as a manager in the energy sector and tech industry with a particular focus on realizing the potential of digitalization. Over the years, I have focused on business development, customer relations, major construction projects and infrastructure, IT platforms and digitalization etc. I have also worked broadly with sustainability issues in order to create safe and secure workplaces. I am creative and innovative and always try to seek out new opportunities in everything I do.
My other Board assignments with Ellevio AB, System Verification AB, Qvantum Industries AB and FC Rosengård have also allowed me to accumulate Board experience that I think will be valuable to Coor.
