Lantmännen chairman Thomas Bodén said Strömberg is leaving the retailer “more profitable, focused and well-known than it was four years ago” and congratulated ICA on appointing “a good choice of leader”.
Strömberg said: “It’s been a great privilege to run a company that is owned by Swedish farmers and that works throughout the value chain, from field to fork.”
