Former executive director, purchasing, Martin Larsson, will take up a newly-created role as executive director – business development.

Larsson will be succeeded by Kjell-Åke Eriksson, who will lead the purchasing organization while remaining general manager of Saab Sweden until a replacement is named.
Announcing the directorial appointments today, Saab Automobile president and CEO Jan Åke Jonsson said: “We are now up and running as an independent company with great opportunities to develop new commercial relations with businesses outside the General Motors organisation.
“I have great confidence in both Martin and Kjell-Åke as they have the necessary experience, through working for Saab in Sweden and abroad, to build these new alliances.”
The management changes follow the appointment last week of Adrian Hallmark as executive director, sales.
