Stora Enso elected a new Executive Vice President (EVP) for its Forest division following Jari Suominen’s resignation. Per Lyrvall, who oversees the legal department, has been named the new EVP for the forest sector. Beginning in December, Per will take on the position and continue to be a part of the Group Leadership Team (GLT).
Christian Swartling to assume the acting role as new General Counsel
Per Lyrvall joined the business in 1994 and has served as general counsel since 2008 in addition to being a member of the GLT since 2012. Along with his new position as the director of the Forest division, Per will continue to perform his present duties as the Stora Enso country head in Sweden. Jari will now pursue career prospects outside of Stora Enso after more than 25 years with the company. Since the establishment of the company’s Forest business in 2020, Jari Suominen, who joined Stora Enso in 1995, has served as its leader. Prior to that, Jari had been EVP and the division’s leader of Stora Enso’s Wood Products since 2014.
“I would like to thank Jari for all his contributions in Stora Enso throughout the years, it has been a true pleasure working together. Jari has driven transformation in the Wood Products division setting up our Building Solutions business, and now lately established the new Forest Division. On behalf of all colleagues, I would like to wish him success and good luck in his future endeavours,” says Stora Enso’s President and CEO Annica Bresky.
“I am excited to take on the opportunity to lead the Forest division. Our forest assets and operations are at the very foundation of our growth platform. I look forward to continuing Jari Suominen’s work to advance our forestry operations with focus on sustainability, biodiversity and wood supply services that support Stora Enso’s strategic ambitions,” says Per Lyrvall.
The search for a new General Counsel has been initiated. In the interim period Christian Swartling, currently Senior Vice President Group Legal, will assume the acting role in the position.
