Ovako is pleased to announce the appointment of Larisa Gyllenrapp as Executive Vice President Global Sales for Ovako Group. Larisa will join the Executive Management Team and lead Ovako’s international sales organization with a focus on driving growth, strengthening customer value, and strengthening commercial execution across key markets.
Larisa brings over two decades of global leadership experience in industrial companies, with a strong track record in strategic sales, market expansion, and organizational development. Most recently, she led the Wood Division at Bruks Siwertell, overseeing operations across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Prior to that, she held senior commercial and leadership roles at BillerudKorsnäs, further building her expertise in customer-centric, international business environments.
Her appointment marks an important step in Ovako’s continued ambition to build a high-performing, growth-oriented sales organization.
I’m very pleased to welcome Larisa to Ovako, says Marcus Hedblom, President and CEO of Ovako. -She brings a valuable combination of international perspective, strategic thinking, and hands-on leadership experience from both BillerudKorsnäs and Bruks Siwertell. As we continue to grow and strengthen our customer relationships in a highly competitive global market, Larisa’s leadership will play a key role in helping us deliver our commercial goals and long-term strategy. I look forward to working closely with her as we take our sales organization to the next level.
Larisa will assume the role in November this year. Until then, Marcus Hedblom, President and CEO of Ovako, will continue to serve as acting EVP Global Sales.
