"It is with great energy, but also humility, that I have accepted the role as

growth in society. SEB is in many ways a unique bank and has been at the service
of enterprise for 160 years, always developing and changing in close partnership
with its customers, our direction forward is clear. Together the strong SEB team
will deliver on our growth and transformation agenda. We will not rest on our
laurels until we, in the eyes of our customers, deliver world-class service.
