Knowit today announced that the company's Chief Financial Officer, Marie Björklund, has decided to leave Knowit to take on the corresponding position at Mips AB. Marie will remain in her role during her notice period until January 2027 to ensure an orderly handover.
Marie Björklund has served as CFO and a member of Knowit's Executive Management Team since 2019. The recruitment process for her successor will begin immediately. Knowit has an experienced and well-established finance function, which, together with the planned handover, provides a solid foundation for continuity throughout the transition to a new CFO.
"Marie has played an important role in Knowit's development over the past seven years. During her time as CFO, Knowit has grown significantly, both through acquisitions and organically, while strengthening the company's financial governance and establishing a solid platform for continued growth. Today, Knowit has a strong and experienced finance function, providing continuity throughout the recruitment and transition to a new CFO. Marie has been a highly valued colleague whose commitment and business acumen have been invaluable, both to me personally and to Knowit as a whole. I would like to sincerely thank her for everything she has contributed and wish her every success in her new role," says Per Wallentin, President and CEO of Knowit.
"My years at Knowit have been both professionally rewarding and great fun. What I will value most are all the talented and dedicated colleagues I have had the privilege to work with, and the collaborative culture that truly defines Knowit. I am proud of what we have accomplished together and look forward to following Knowit's continued success," says Marie Björklund.
