Erik Odhnoff appointed new Chief Credit Officer at Swedbank

Erik Odhnoff has been appointed as the Head of Group Credit at Swedbank and will thereby become part of the Group Executive Committee. He will take on his new position on 1 August, replacing Lars-Erik Danielsson.

Jens Henriksson, President and CEO of Swedbank, commented: “With solid knowledge of credit, broad business experience and good leadership qualities, Erik is very well suited to take on the role of Chief Credit Officer.”

Erik Odhnoff is currently the Deputy Chief Credit Officer and has been employed by Swedbank since 2000. He holds a Master of Science degree in business and economics with a major in finance from Stockholm University.

“A sound and sustainable credit process is at the core of Swedbank’s mission and strategy. I look forward to continuing to lead these efforts in my new role,” said Erik Odhnoff, incoming Chief Credit Officer at Swedbank.

Lars-Erik Danielsson will remain in his role as Chief Credit Officer until the summer, after which he will be available for credit matters. Next year, he will leave the bank after holding his current role since 2012.

“Lars-Erik is an appreciated colleague who has done excellent work as Chief Credit Officer for more than a decade. On behalf of the entire bank, I would like to thank him for his efforts,” noted Henriksson.
