KappAhl has appointed Johanna Kjellberg as Vice President Information
Technology, and made her a new member of the management group. She
worked for Volvo Information Technology AB from 2002 and before that

fashion industry. It's a question of getting the right product out at
the right time to all 300 stores in four countries. KappAhl has
complex and dynamic systems that place extreme demands on IT.
Johanna's experience and expertise will be valuable assets to KappAhl
in this process," says Christian W. Jansson, President and CEO of
KappAhl.
