NYAB Plc’s Board of Directors has today appointed Jan Öhman, previously Vice Chairman, as new Chairman of the Board. Öhman succeeds Markku Kankaala, who continues to serve as Vice Chairman of the Board.

“I am proud to announce that today, on my recommendation, a unanimous Board of Directors has appointed Jan Öhman as Chairman of the Board of NYAB. Jan’s extensive experience from the administration of companies listed in Sweden and his long history of leadership makes him the ideal person to lead the Board of Directors in NYAB’s next phase. Today’s announcement regarding the initiation of the company’s re-domiciliation to Sweden and the aim for a listing at Nasdaq First North Premier in Stockholm marks a good time to hand over the Chair to Jan and develop the company together with the management even stronger with his competencies. At the same time, I am glad to continue my cooperation with Jan as Vice Chairman”, says Markku Kankaala, new Vice Chairman of the Board at NYAB.

Jan Öhman, who was elected member of NYAB’s Board of Directors in April 2023, has an extensive experience from the administration of listed companies. Most recently he was the CFO of Nasdaq Stockholm main listed Industrivärden AB between 2019-2022. Öhman is independent of the company and its major shareholders.

“NYAB has a demonstrated history of high growth and profitability. As Chairman I look forward to further develop the company together with the Board and management as it enters its next phase. During his tenure as Chairman of the Board, Markku successfully oversaw the merger between NYAB and Skarta, amongst other things. Now, I am truly excited to continue working closely with Markku, the rest of the Board and company management, to develop the company further and create value for its stakeholders.” says Jan Öhman, appointed new Chairman of the Board.
