ICA Gruppen has announced that Anders Nyberg, the top boss of Apotek Hjärtat, has decided to retire in the fall of 2021.

The company has initiated a process to find a successor to Nyberg.

He will continue as CEO of Apotek Hjärtat and a member of the group management of ICA Gruppen until a new CEO is appointed, the company added.

'A Market Leader'

Per Strömberg, CEO and President of ICA Gruppen, commented, “I would like to extend a warm thank you to Anders Nyberg, who in recent years has developed Apotek Hjärtat from a challenger to a market leader.

“It is a journey that has included the development of a leading e-commerce, the acquisition of Min Doktor, and to utilise the strength of being part of ICA Gruppen by running and establishing pharmacies in connection with larger ICA stores.”
