Dagens industri and consulting firm Bain & Company today announced the Future Top Executives list, on which Axel Berntsson, President and CEO of Bulten AB, has been selected as one of 25 individuals handpicked by some of Sweden’s leading executive search firms. With this recognition, Axel has been identified as one of the most likely candidates to join the top management of one of Sweden’s largest companies within the next 3–5 years.
“Since Axel joined Bulten, he has initiated a powerful transformation of the company through visionary and hands-on leadership, combined with a strong ability to drive change. This transformation concerns Bulten’s strategic direction, performance-oriented culture and business model. The company already has a stronger balance sheet, improved cash generation and, above all, a clear direction for how we create long-term value for shareholders. As the Board and principal owner, we are pleased to have attracted such a driven and modern leader to Bulten and the Volito group of companies. From day one, Axel has set a high pace in building a new and powerful Bulten, and we very much look forward to continuing this work together with the same high level of ambition. We congratulate Axel on this well-deserved recognition,” says Ulf Liljedahl, Chairman of the Board of Bulten AB and CEO of its principal owner, Volito AB.
