The Board will now begin the recruitment of a successor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>H\u00e5kan Buskhe has according to his contract a six-month notice period and will continue in his current role for the time being, but will leave Saab by February 2020. The exact date will be determined by the recruitment process that Saab&#8217;s Board now is initiating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith his great commitment and several strategically important decisions, H\u00e5kan Buskhe has laid a strong foundation for the continued positive progress of Saab. The development of Gripen E, Saab&#8217;s part in the US T-X project and a sharp increase in capability within the important sensor technological area with i.a. GlobalEye, are some examples of this. Under H\u00e5kan Buskhe&#8217;s leadership, Saab has also expanded internationally and started collaborations with a number of other leading defence industries. All in all, this means that Saab stands on a solid foundation, which is necessary with the extremely rapid technological developments that affect all industries,\u201d says Marcus Wallenberg, Chairman of the Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>H\u00e5kan Buskhe assumed the role of President and CEO of Saab on September 1, 2010. H\u00e5kan Buskhe is 55 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSaab has grown to a new level and is today a strong international defence and security company. We have achieved this through strategic partnerships, global presence and a continuous focus on investments in the product portfolio. It has been fantastic to lead this work\u201d, says Saab&#8217;s President and CEO H\u00e5kan Buskhe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe reason I choose to leave Saab is that I would like to face another operational challenge in my career. Until a new CEO is in place, I will continue to have full focus on Saab to ensure a smooth arrival for my successor, with the priorities being the implementation of the major projects together with our customers and the continued work to achieve Saab&#8217;s financial goals\u201d, concludes Saab&#8217;s President and CEO H\u00e5kan Buskhe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1404\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gripen-E-rollout-3.jpg?fit=640%2C449\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gripen-E-rollout-3.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gripen-E-rollout-3-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gripen-E-rollout-3-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gripen-E-rollout-3-1024x719.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>H\u00e5kan Buskhe has according to his contract a six-month notice period and will continue in his current role for the time being, but will leave Saab by February 2020.
