 In the past two years, Norstat has appointed new leaders in Poland, Denmark, Lithuania, Norway, Italy and Germany, and also replaced its global CEO with Knut Asrud; while UK MD Matt Reynolds has left to form his own consultancy.
Åquist brings nearly twenty years' experience of business development and senior management,. Before Blom he was MD of Sagemcom in the Nordics and Country Manager of IT consultancy Rubik Solutions. He holds a master degree in Industrial Engineering and Management from Linköping Institute of Technology.
Asrud says the new recruit has 'a proven track record and great competencies that the entire Norstat group will benefit from'. He adds: 'I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Marie for her contributions to the company during the last years. Marie has moved Norstat into a very good position in the Swedish market and her dedication and hard work have ensured respect and loyalty amongst clients and colleagues'.
