Peter Agnefjäll, who is 41 years old, is today country manager of IKEA Sweden and has since 1995 held a number of leadership positions in the IKEA Group, in Sweden and internationally, within range development at IKEA of Sweden (IOS) and as store manager in Italy. In 2008 and 2009, Peter was assistant to Ingvar Kamprad, Anders Dahlvig and Mikael Ohlsson.
“I am very happy to welcome Peter as Vice President. I have had the privilege to follow Peter since he first joined IKEA and we have collaborated closely throughout the years. It will be a pleasure to work with him during the next 11 months to secure a good handover. Peter has a strong commitment to IKEA and our vision and is a good leader. I am confident that he, together with our dedicated co-workers, will continue to develop IKEA positively”, says Mikael Ohlsson.
Mikael Ohlsson (55) remains President and CEO of the IKEA Group until September 1, 2013, which is within the period originally agreed. He then plans to use his 34 years of experience at IKEA, mostly in senior operational positions and since 1995 in the executive management, in a board capacity in various businesses and organizations and spend more time with his family.
