SANDVIK has announced that Sofia Sirvell will become Chief Digital Officer (CDO) and a member of the group executive management from the start of March.
Sofia Sirvell is currently Sandvik Group Chief Information Officer (CIO), a position she has held since 2021. Prior to joining Sandvik, she was the deputy CTO at fashion company H&M Group.
In the CDO role, she will help to drive the digital transformation of Sandvik and support collaboration across the group to enhance digital capabilities and IT.
Stefan Widing, CEO and president of Sandvik, said, “There is a strong strategic focus to deliver on the digital transformation of Sandvik, which entails both developing our digital customer offering and strengthening the digital capabilities across Sandvik. The global support function for IT plays a key role in driving this shift.
“The addition of Sofia Sirvell to the group executive management is a natural and positive step, and I am confident that she with her competence will contribute in an excellent way to the team.”
Jessica Alm, executive VP and head of group communications and sustainability, has decided to leave Sandvik to become the chief communications officer at Essity.
Stefan Widing added, “Jessica Alm has made a big contribution to Sandvik during her years in the company, shaping our communications organisation with her strong leadership and competence. She has been a highly appreciated colleague and I wish her all the best for the future as she now moves on to a new challenge.”
