The Third Swedish National Pension Fund (AP3) has appointed Staffan Hansén as its new CEO.
Hansén, who currently serves as CEO of SPP Pension & Försäkring and is an executive management member of Storebrand Group, succeeds Kerstin Hessius, who in March announced her plans to step down from the role in December after 18 years.
Hansén will take up the leadership position on or before Dec. 1.
“I am delighted we have recruited Staffan Hansén as AP3’s new CEO,” said Christina Lindenius, chairman of the board of AP3. “I believe his extensive experience of asset management and his strong track record as a CEO and leader, combined with all the very competent people at AP3, will provide the optimal basis for continued successful operations of the Fund and hence of the state pension system.”
