Management changes at Hemfosa Fastigheter


Lars Thagesson, COO and one of Hemfosa’s founders, will transition to a role as
external adviser to the company. At the same time, Karim Sahibzada, Head of
Legal and also a co-founder of Hemfosa, will leave the Group to pursue other
opportunities. Stina Lindh Hök, currently Head of Transactions, will take over
Lars Thagesson’s responsibilities relating to transactions.
Hemfosa works actively to ensure the supply of qualified expertise at all levels
of the rapidly growing property company. In 2015, for example, Hemfosa has
strengthened its Executive Management Team through the addition of Simon Venemyr
Ottersland as COO of the Norwegian operations, Ann-Sofie Lindroth as Chief
Accountant, and Linda Eriksson as the new Head of Finance.

Lars Thagesson will vacate his position at year-end and transition to the role
of external adviser to Hemfosa in 2016 with a focus on the company’s major
projects. At the same time, Karim Sahibzada has decided to leave his position as
Head of Legal at Hemfosa.

“Lars and Karim were among the founders of Hemfosa in 2009 and both have played
decisive roles in building Hemfosa from scratch to where it is today – a listed
company with a property portfolio valued at approximately SEK 30 billion. With
extensive knowledge and unique expertise, Lars has spearheaded the intensive
transaction activities of recent years and is now handing over the reins to
younger, but equally as sharp, colleagues. I understand Lars’ wish to change to
a freer role and we are delighted that he will remain with us in an advisory
capacity. Karim has played a significant role in creating a stable financing
base and structure for the company during this rapid period of growth, but now
wishes to take on new challenges outside the Group. I wish him the very best of
luck and much success for the future. We are grateful for their important
contributions to Hemfosa,” says Jens Engwall, CEO of Hemfosa Fastigheter AB.

“We founded Hemfosa with a five-year plan that, in a manner, was accomplished
with listing the company on the stock exchange in 2014. Hemfosa has now reached
its seventh year of operations, and it is with a sense of pride in everything
that we have achieved with Hemfosa that we are handing the baton over to our
highly competent colleagues,” say Lars Thagesson and Karim Sahibzada.
