Autoliv Inc. President, Chairman and CEO Jon Carlson will become CEO of Veoneer Inc., the electronic business unit to be spun off from the company later this year.
Carlson (right) will continue to lead Autoliv until the divestiture is completed in the third quarter. He joined Autoliv in 1999 and has headed the company since 2007.
Mathias Hermansson was hired in January to be Veoneer’s chief financial officer. He previously worked at digital entertainment specialist Modern Times Group for 18 years, the last three years as CFO. Mats Backman will continue in his role as Autoliv’s CFO.
Following the spin-off, Johan Lofvenholm will become Veoneer’s chief operating officer. He currently heads Autoliv’s electronics business.
Veoneer will focus on safety electronics, sensors and software for active safety, advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving technologies. Autoliv’s remaining Passive Safety business consists of airbags, seatbelts and steering wheels. Both companies will be based in Stockholm.
