Erséus takes office on 12 August 2019 and succeeds Anna-Karin Hatt.

Erséus’ background in the service sector includes 30 years of experience in consulting, IT and the real estate industry. Erséus was previously Chief Real Estate Officer at Ericsson AB. 

“I am both happy and proud to have the confidence to lead the work in Sweden's largest employer organisation in the service sector.
