In support of the company’s ambitions to accelerate growth on international markets, Ola Alfredsson joins MilDef in the new position Vice President Strategic Projects. Ola has recently returned from the US and a role as Embassy Counselor in Washington DC. Prior to this, he has a solid track record working in the defense and security industry, both nationally and internationally. Among other prestigious industry positions, Ola has been Head of Sales & Marketing and CEO for Kockums AB.
“After some exciting years at the Swedish embassy in Washington, it’s very stimulating to once again engage in strategic management within the defense and security industry. To work with great people in a dynamic and multinational company, delivering cutting edge defense and security technology, is an environment I really like. MilDef develops highly relevant solutions to meet the technical challenges of tomorrow. With the company investing in growth, not least on the US market, I am really looking forward to contribute on that journey”, says Ola Alfredsson.
“With his unique background and extensive network, Ola brings a new strategic dimension to MilDef”, says Björn Karlsson, CEO. “We have a sharp technological edge that fuels our international expansion, but that won’t be enough in the future.
