She said: “My ambition and passion is to work with skilled and smart people to drive business growth and create value for our society. Axis’ vision to contribute to a smarter and safer world is in that matter highly relevant, and the strong company values were an instant fit to mine. I am therefore excited to further develop our portfolio across EMEA to create value for our customers and all of us in our daily lives.”
Bodil Sonesson, vice president for global sales at Axis, added: "Axis is a fast-growing company, with a continuously expanding portfolio of products and solutions. Naturally, we need to develop our organisation to further strengthen our leading position in a growing and changing market. The EMEA region is big and diverse, and shows a lot of opportunities.
