Uppsala, Sweden - July 10, 2024 - Cecilia Wachtmeister, who was appointed as the new CEO of I.A.R. Systems Group AB at the end of March, will officially assume the role on Aug. 16.
When Cecilia was recruited, it was communicated that she would take office by Oct. 1 at the latest, with the hope of an earlier start date. Cecilia has been able to leave her previous position earlier than planned and will therefore assume the CEO role at IAR on Aug. 16. "We are very pleased to welcome Cecilia to IAR.

Richard Lind will simultaneously leave his position but will be available to the company during the fall. Upon assuming her new role, Cecilia Wachtmeister will step down from her position as a board member of IAR.
