CFO Anders Lexmon has decided to leave Axfood to pursue other opportunities outside of the Group. The search for a successor is now being initiated, and Anders Lexmon will continue in his role until spring 2027 to ensure an orderly transition.
Anders Lexmon has worked for Axfood since 2002 and during the last ten years as the Group’s CFO.
“After nearly 25 years at Axfood, I have decided to gradually conclude my operational career. I have had a fantastic time at Axfood where, in my role as CFO, I have had the opportunity to help develop the Group from the time when Axfood was practically a newly listed company to the successful food retail group that Axfood is today. It is now a good time to initiate my succession process in a planned and orderly manner,” says Anders Lexmon, CFO.
“I am very grateful for Anders’ significant contributions to the Executive Committee and for the commitment, professionalism and leadership he has brought during his many years with the Group. I have great respect for Anders’ decision to gradually conclude his operational career in an orderly manner, and we expect Anders to hand over to a future successor sometime during the spring of 2027,” says Simone Margulies, President and CEO.
The recruitment process for Anders Lexmon’s successor in the role of CFO for Axfood is now being initiated.
