SJ's board has appointed Jonas Abrahamsson as the new CEO, with effect from 1 March 2026. Jonas Abrahamsson is currently CEO of Swedavia and has previously been CEO of Eon Sweden, among other roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 SJ is building good momentum, with strong earnings growth and positive trends in customer and staff satisfaction. A decision has been taken on a comprehensive investment programme in new rolling stock, and by 2030 SJ\u2019s fleet is set to increase by 50%. SJ is entering a new phase. However, significant efforts are required before SJ becomes the world-class travel company we aspire to be. \u201cThe Board considers that now is the right time to appoint a new CEO \u2013 someone who can take a 5\u20137-year perspective on strengthening this development,\u201d says Kenneth Bengtsson, Chairman of SJ\u2019s Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Monica Lingeg\u00e5rd, who will continue as CEO until 1 March 2026, has with courage, strength, and clear focus put SJ back on the right track, and the board wishes to express its thanks to Monica Lingeg\u00e5rd for this, says Kenneth Bengtsson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 With Jonas Abrahamsson, SJ will have a CEO with many years of experience from both the aviation and energy sectors. These are both customer-focused and capital-intensive businesses and form a good basis for the CEO role, continues Kenneth Bengtsson. Jonas Abrahamsson is a recognised successful leader and team player, concludes Kenneth Bengtsson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 I am looking forward to continuing to develop SJ together with employees, customers, owners and other partners. SJ will continue to be a constructive and engaged player in the development of the Swedish railway system. But the main focus will, of course, as now, be on improving SJ's own delivery \u2013 so that we can meet increased demand, requirements for punctuality and high service. It feels very inspiring to work together with SJ's employees to be able to offer all travellers a world-class experience, says Jonas Abrahamsson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 SJ is a unique company that holds a special place in the hearts of the Swedish people. We\u2019ve felt this keenly when things haven\u2019t gone to plan. We connect Sweden and feel a great sense of responsibility for this. SJ\u2019s fantastic staff go above and beyond every day, says Monica Lingeg\u00e5rd. I respect the board\u2019s decision and share its assessment that SJ is now entering a new phase, in which, over a five-year period, it will take delivery of and commission new rolling stock that will increase SJ\u2019s capacity by 50 %, \u201cI will lead SJ with all my energy as CEO right up until the handover and do everything I can to ensure a smooth transition,\u201d concludes Monica Lingeg\u00e5rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CEO change will take place on 1 March 2026. Current CEO Monica Lingeg\u00e5rd will then leave SJ to focus on a career as an advisor and board professional. In accordance with the rules for state-owned companies, Monica Lingeg\u00e5rd will receive severance pay for 12 months after 1 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
