- Business unit Saab Kockums will report to the CEO and is intended to report financially within corporate.
The new organisation will be effective from 1 January 2016. Due to the dissolution of
Security and Defence Solutions, the head of that business area, Gunilla Fransson, choses to leave Saab and the Group Management.
As of 31 December 2015, Saab’s head of communications, Åsa Thegström, will leave the Group Management to take the position as head of business unit Training and Simulation.
