March 31, 2010: 02:33 AM ET
* Marita Hellberg, current head of corporate HR, takes on HR in China and North East Asia
* Effective as of July 1(st)
Marita Hellberg, currently Senior Vice President and Head of Human Resources for the Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) Group, has been appointed to take over as Head of Human Resources of Ericsson's new region China and North East Asia. "This is a great and exciting challenge for me. China and North East Asia are today among the fastest growing and most sophisticated telecommunications markets in the world," says Marita Hellberg. "Ericsson's new regional set- up aims to drive flexibility, speed and innovation in our organization, but it will also require a strong focus from the human resources and cultural perspective."
Marita Hellberg joined Ericsson in 1978 and before becoming Head of corporate Human Resources she held various positions in that area in different parts of the organization. Hellberg was born in Djuro, Sweden, in 1955 and graduated in social studies from the University of Stockholm.
The search for Marita Hellberg's replacement has started; a new Head of HR will be announced separately.
