New CFO for Swedish Match

 New CFO for Swedish Match

Swedish Match said yesterday that Tom Hayes was to become its new CFO.

This follows the resignation, for family reasons, of Marlene Forsell, who is due to leave her position on March 9.

CEO Lars Dahlgren said Forsell had joined Swedish Match in 2004 and had become CFO in 2013.

“Throughout her successful career at Swedish Match she has made many important contributions to our company,” he said. “We are very sorry that Marlene has decided to resign.”

But Dahlgren said the company was fortunate to have a strong replacement in Hayes who had been with Swedish Match since 2006.

“He already has experience in the CFO role at Swedish Match as he was acting CFO for nine months during Marlene’s parental leave in 2013 and 2014,” he said.

Hayes is currently vice president business control and CFO at Swedish Match’s US Division.
