Timbro, a leading Swedish think tank, has announced that its current CEO Benjamin Dousa will be stepping down at the end of November. Taking over as CEO will be PM Nilsson, who has had an impressive career in journalism and politics.
PM Nilsson joined Timbro earlier this year as the head of climate, environmental, urban, and rural affairs. Before joining Timbro, he had left his role as state secretary following the high-profile eel scandal that had caused quite a stir in the country.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Nilsson had planned to leave Timbro on September 1 and return to his previous role as an editorial writer at Dagens Industri. The only difference would be that he would not be writing about Swedish domestic politics.
But now, instead of reverting to his previous position, Nilsson has been appointed as the new CEO of Timbro. This news comes as current CEO Benjamin Dousa prepares to take on the role of CEO at the organization Företagarna.
The decision to appoint Nilsson as CEO has been met with enthusiasm from the board and supporters of Timbro. Anders Kempe, chairman of the Free Enterprise Foundation, expressed his satisfaction with the choice, stating that Nilsson has long been a spokesperson for the values and ideas that Timbro stands for – liberalism, market economy, free enterprise, and an open society.
With his extensive background in journalism and politics, Nilsson is seen as an ideal candidate to lead Timbro and further the organization’s mission. His experience includes roles as political editor at Expressen, editor at the newspaper Lundagård, and CEO and responsible publisher for the opinion site Newsmill.
As November approaches, all eyes will be on PM Nilsson as he takes on his new role as CEO of Timbro. With his expertise and passion for the ideals of the organization, many are hopeful that he will continue to guide Timbro towards success and influence in the political and economic landscape of Sweden.
