Krinova has appointed Claes Henriksson as its new CEO after seven months without a leader. He will assume the role by October 1 at the latest.
Claes Henriksson most recently worked as an independent consultant with assignments including the Danish beer producer Faxe. He has previously held positions at Dole Nordic and Arla Foods.
Chairman Jonas Haak, who is also CEO of Kristianstad Österlen Airport, said the company took its time with the recruitment. The job advertisement was published in March and attracted many highly qualified applicants.
The operation includes around 20 employees and support for approximately 70 startups and 20 growth companies. In the longer term Krinova aims to strengthen its role as an international incubator in the food industry.
