Petra Bendelin is appointed to MEKO’s new Chief Operating Officer as Tobias Narvinger leaves his position for a new, senior management position in another industry. Petra Bendelin is currently MEKO's Director of Business Development and Strategy and has worked in the company since 2010 in several senior roles.
"I am very pleased that Petra Bendelin has chosen to accept the role of Chief Operating Officer in MEKO when Tobias Narvinger is now taking a new step outside of our group. For many years and up close, I have witnessed Petra's strong leadership and clear focus on profitable growth, regardless of the role she had. I am convinced that she is the right person to continue driving MEKO's continued development towards increased profitability as our company continues to grow in a sustainable way. At the same time, I want to extend a big and heartfelt thank you to Tobias Narvinger as he now moves on after more than a decade at MEKO. Tobias has been a key person in our successful development and I wish him the best of luck in his new role," says Pehr Oscarson, president and CEO of MEKO.
The role of COO includes overall responsibility for product range, logistics, IT, sustainability, and strategy. A central task is to sustainably ensure efficiency, synergy gains and margin-improving measures as MEKO continuously grows. Through several strategically selected acquisitions in recent years, MEKO has strengthened its position as an industry leader within the independent vehicle aftermarket in Northern Europe. Profitable and sustainable growth is a central part of the company's strategy.
"I am very inspired to take over as MEKO's Chief Operating Officer. After many years in the company, I know the business very well and the solid work that led to our leading position. We will continue to use our industry-leading expertise in purchasing, logistics and business development to increase our value creation. MEKO has done a lot in these areas, but there is also potential to do more as MEKO grows and the green transformation of the industry continues," says Petra Bendelin.
Petra Bendelin takes up the position in July.
