An announcement from Investor AB ( ($SE:INVE.A) ) is now available.

Investor AB’s portfolio company Mölnlycke is undergoing a leadership transition as CEO Zlatko Rihter steps down after more than five years, during which he steered the medical solutions firm through volatile conditions while delivering above-market growth and sharpening its customer-centric and geographic expansion strategy. The board has appointed long-time executive and current CFO Guillaume Joucla as interim CEO to maintain the existing strategic course while a search for a permanent chief executive is launched, signaling continuity for stakeholders and an intention to preserve the momentum in operational performance and sustainable-care focus.

Mölnlycke’s chair Karl-Henrik Sundström and Investor AB’s Patricia Industries co-head Thomas Kidane highlighted Rihter’s role in strengthening the company’s market position and its contribution to safer, more efficient and more sustainable care delivery worldwide. By elevating Joucla, who brings nearly two decades of experience within Mölnlycke and a strong track record in leadership roles, the owners and board aim to ensure a smooth transition and operational stability, mitigating potential disruption and reinforcing confidence among employees, customers and investors during the CEO succession process.
