The Board of Swedish recruitment firm Hedera Group announced that it has appointed Linda Uddén as Vice President.

According to Hedera Group, the company wishes to strengthen its operations through Uddén’s appointment following a number of acquisitions during the spring, including the acquisition of nurse staffing firm Addus Care AB in May and medical staffing firm Baehrendtz & Haeger in February. Both are based in Sweden.

“Uddén has extensive experience in senior management and adds the additional skills required to develop Hedera towards set goals,” the group said in a statement. 

Her previous role was as Sweden Manager of Centric Care AB, a healthcare staffing firm. She also worked with Swedish staffing firm Dedicare.

“As vice president of the Hedera Group, Linda will work to identify the synergies that exist between the companies in order to increase sales and earnings,” Hedera Group said. “Linda will participate in the implementation of new acquisitions.”

Maria Nordin CEO Hedera Group, commented, "I have worked with Linda for a long time and know that she has a versatile knowledge of different types of crew and recruitment with previous experience of fast-growing crews. With Linda in the Hedera Group, we are well equipped for the extensive development work we have begun.

"I am looking forward to working with a serious player like Hedera and, together with Maria Nordin, continue the work of becoming the leading group in healthcare staffing,” Uddén said.
