“In a company it is important to have a versatile composition on the board. The size of the board of directors should be kept down, especially in a small company such as Novotek. Novotek has therefore decided that the board members should have as diverse a focus as possible and reflect the company’s needs.

Fredrik Larsson, MsC Eng, has extensive experience as a project manager and as a solution architect in the telecom industry. The common denominator in many of the projects in Novotek’s line of business and the telecom industry has been about introducing standard platforms in a complex business using a global delivery model. He is today deputy CEO of Idus.

Anna Bjelm is MSc. Eng and Executive MBA. Her experience of working in senior positions within Lean in a number of companies is important to Novotek. Lean promote efficiency in companies and is what Novotek offers its customers. She is today CEO at aSterling enrichment.

Charlotta Johnsson is PhD in Technology and is today Dean at LTH Campus Helsingborg with a special focus on Innovation and Collaboration.
