Saab names new head of aeronautics and creates government affairs role

Saab has appointed Lars Tossman as head of aeronautics, replacing Jonas Helm, who is to head up a new government affairs section.

“Lars Tossman is a senior leader with a strong track record of performance within several business areas at Saab. He is the right person to take aeronautics to the next phase," says Micael Johansson, Saab's president and chief executive.

The Swedish manufacturer named Mats Wicksell as head of business area Kockums and listed him on the group management team, where Jonas Hjelm is to take up a new government affairs leadership role from March 1 2023.

"Following higher defence spending across our key markets and Sweden's NATO application, we are further strengthening our focus on government affairs," said Johansson.
