Effective March 1,2023, Ib Jensen takes over from Jan Secher as CEO of Perstorp Group, a specialty chemicals company headquartered in Malmö, Sweden and since 2022 part of PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad (PCG).
After more than nine successful years as the CEO of Perstorp Group, Secher has decided to step down. This decision is based on a personal direction set more than a year ago, prior to the acquisition by PCG, allowing for a full search process to be conducted for his replacement.
Jensen has been CFO of Perstorp for the past year and was considered the most qualified candidate based on his knowledge of the company, long term experience of the specialty chemicals industry and high level of appreciation in both Perstorp as well as in PCG. Previous experience includes CFO and executive roles within finance and IT at companies such as Arxada, Lonza, Syngenta, Danisco and LEGO.
Secher remains in the CEO role until March 1 and will thereafter serve as an advisor to the new CEO and the chairman, focusing on strategy and transferring external relationships. Monica Jönsson, currently deputy CFO, will take on the role as CFO when Ib Jensen assumes the position as CEO.
