Nordic Paper appoints new Head of IR and Strategy

Nordic Paper today announces that it has recruited Henrik Essén to a position as Head of IR and Strategy. He will assume his position on March 1[st] 2021 and will be part of the executive management team of the company.

Henrik Essén has long experience from management and business development positions within the paper and packaging industries. His most recent position was as M&A Director at Shanying International Holding where he was also involved in the Nordic Paper IPO process.

As Henrik Essén assumes his position, the current Head of Strategy, Jens Otterstedt, will leave Nordic Paper for new challenges and the consulting agreement with the current Head of IR, Ingrid Östhols, will reach its end.

- I am very glad to welcome Henrik Essén to Nordic Paper and to present a long term solution for the IR work of the company. On behalf of Nordic Paper, I’d like to thank Jens and Ingrid for their strong efforts for the company, not the least during the IPO process last autumn. I wish them both all the best of luck for the future, says Anita Sjölander, CEO of Nordic Paper.
