VOLVO Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) have made changes to their executive management team to strengthen focus on business and cultural transformation and further accelerate overall company performance.

Christian Hallbjörner has been appointed as head of finance and chief financial officer (CFO), effective 1 January 2026. He succeeds Klara Eiritz who has decided to take on a new assignment outside Volvo CE. Mr Hallbjörner previously served as senior vice-president of finance and chief financial officer for Volvo Financial Services. He brings more than 28 years of experience in finance, business control, and business development, including the last 15 years within Volvo Financial Services, Volvo Trucks, and Volvo Penta.

Melker Jernberg, head of Volvo CE, said: ‘I’m excited to welcome Christian to Volvo CE. With his extensive experience within the Volvo Group, Christian will be a key contributor in driving our financial agenda as we continue to transform our company.’

Meanwhile, Malin Norman has been appointed as head of people and culture, effective 1 March 2026. She will succeed Ann-Sofie Räftegård, who, after more than six years in the role, will assume a new position as senior transformation lead at Volvo CE.

Malin Norman has built a long and successful career across several parts of the Volvo Group, including roles at GTO Powertrain in Köping, Sweden; GTO Powertrain in Hagerstown, US; and, since 2021, serving as head of people and culture technology at Volvo CE.

‘It’s a pleasure to see an internal talent take on this exciting challenge,’ said Melker Jernberg. ‘Malin brings a wealth of experience, with her broad background across Volvo and her leadership in technology making her well-suited to advance our people and culture agenda. I’m confident Malin will make a significant impact, and I look forward to working closely with her,’

Based in Eskilstuna, both Mr Hallbjörner and Ms Norman will join the Volvo CE executive management team and report to Mr Jernberg.
