SSAB Appoints Craelius as CFO
Written by David Schollaert
SSAB AB has named Leena Craelius as chief financial officer. Craelius had held the position of acting CFO since Nov. 1, 2021, succeeding Håkan Folin, who joined mining and infrastructure equipment make Epiroc.
Craelius will take up her new position immediately and will be based in Stockholm, the Swedish steelmaker said in a press release on Thursday, June 2.
Craelius has been with SSAB since 2005 and has held increasingly senior positions within the company. Prior to the interim CFO role, she most recently served as vice president of finance, controlling, and IT at SSAB Europe.
“I am very happy to welcome Leena in her new role,” SSAB president and CEO Martin Lindqvist said. “I’m convinced that she will in the best way contribute to our journey toward a fossil-free and industry-leading company.”
Craelius holds an MBA in Finance from Helsinki School of Economics and a BBA in International Business from Häme University of Applied Sciences.
