New People in the Saab Management
In order to keep its pace with time, Saab has taken on new people as part of its management. Taking new people in is only necessary if one is not to be left behind especially when it comes to new ideas and strategies as well. Saab has taken Mats Warstedt as its Director of Marketing for Saab International and Saab Industrial Corporation. This an entirely new position, which means that Mats Warstedt is the first person ever to be taken as Saab’s Director of Marketing. One take on this is that Saab has already realized the significance of having a good marketing strategy. This may be just the thing that Saab needs. They already have great performing vehicles. The next thing to do is to hire someone that will worry about boosting sales.
Another person that Saab hired is Jonas Hjelm. He took on the position of the one responsible for Government Relations. It seems that this move of Saab is one to boost its relations on both the public (specifically the market) and the government. As for the background of the hired ones, Mats Warstedt has been the business unit manager of Saab Barracuda back in 2002. As for Jonas Hjelm, he started working for Saab in December last year. Before he worked for Saab, he was the permanent secretary in the Swedish Ministry of Defense. He will start on his new position by November 1st.
