Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) today announced it will move the position as Chief HR
Officer to Sweden and that Bina Chaurasia, based in California therefore will
resign from her role as Senior Vice President and Chief HR Officer, effective
November 15, 2016.
The role of Chief Human Resources Officer has been based in California since
2014. However, with the heavy transformation work needed currently in Ericsson,
the position will move to Stockholm to be close to the CEO and the majority of
the Executive Leadership Team.
Jan Frykhammar, CEO and President of Ericsson, said: "Bina has been instrumental
in reshaping Ericsson's Human Resource function and developing Ericsson's People
Strategy during a period of massive business transformation. With deep
understanding of the company's overall goals and culture, Bina has been a highly
appreciated member of our leadership team."
Joining Ericsson from Hewlett Packard in 2010, Chaurasia has built a world class
global HR function for Ericsson. Under her leadership, the HR team has developed
and implemented a People Strategy with strong focus on attracting, developing,
and retaining the best talent, and special focus on developing competence,
especially in new growth areas.
Bina Chaurasia said: "Both Ericsson and the industry are going through a period
of massive transformation. I am proud to have been part of the journey for the
past six years and, along with my team, to have taken what was a very fragmented
function and created a strong global HR function, supporting the delivery of the
business strategy and the development of employees."
Effective November 15, 2016, Maj-Britt Arfert has been appointed acting Chief HR
Officer while the search for a successor is underway.
