The Board of Directors of Ecogain has appointed Katarina Walter as new CEO. Katarina comes most recently from roles as CEO of Antrop and Wise Consulting. With Katarina Walter, Ecogain gets a purpose-driven and communicative CEO with a recognized and successful leadership, with experience from digital service development and with a focus on both doing good business and doing good.
- I am very pleased to present Katarina Walter as the new CEO. Katarina is exactly the right recruitment in the phase where Ecogain is now. She has a proven track record as a leader, and a strong sustainability focus. I am really looking forward to working with her," says Karin Andersson, Chairman of the Board of Ecogain.
- The business community plays a vital role in helping us make the transition to a sustainable society. Ecogain is something as fantastic as specialists in helping companies to develop in a sustainable way. Of course I am proud that I will be able to lead the development of such a company forward," says Katarina Walter, who will take up the position in February.
Ecogain went from being an owner-led to an owner-managed company with the recruitment of Fredrik Höök as the first external CEO in 2020. Under Fredrik Höök's leadership, the company has professionalized and grown profitably, significantly strengthened the brand and started product development in parallel with the consulting business. Fredrik Höök is now leaving the CEO position but still has strong ties to Ecogain.
- "Ecogain is stronger than ever," says Fredrik Höök. "Now that we have finalized this great recruitment, we are ready for a continued growth journey that will make an even bigger difference for nature and for business. I am very confident in the recruitment of my successor. As a continuing shareholder in Ecogain, I look to the future with great confidence.
- With Fredrik Höök, Ecogain shed its skin from owner-led to owner-managed, says Anders Enetjärn, founder of Ecogain. "Fredrik has done a great job of professionalizing both the leadership and the company from the point where I needed to switch over to a new CEO. Now we are ready for the next phase. As the company's principal owner and founder, I am extremely pleased that we found Katarina Walter among a large number of talented candidates. It will be a pleasure to develop the collaboration with Katarina.
