On the 22 of February, the winners of the “CEO of the Year” award were announced at Kistamässan in Stockholm. The winner in the Large-Cap category was David von Laskowski, Picadeli & Greenfood Group. “CEO of the Year” has been awarded since 2012 in Sweden, with the purpose of recognizing CEOs who stand out for their value-driven leadership and how they contribute to a sustainable business environment.

With David as President and CEO, Greenfood has created strong profitable growth in the Nordic home markets as well as in Europe and the US. The international growth is largely driven by Greenfood’s subsidiary Picadeli, which has established itself as the European market leader in healthy fast food.

The statement from the jury reads: “The Large-Cap CEO of the Year has, together with his team, made a remarkable journey of growth and change. With a goal-oriented, present and charismatic leadership style, the winner has both overcome difficult challenges and made his company forward-looking and innovative.

As the leader of a fast-growing and industry-leading company, the CEO of the Year has shown that it is possible to be at the forefront of sustainability, health and digitalization, while maintaining a clear focus on profitability and results.”
