New Head of business area Connectivity, joins Knowit’s group management team

Lennart Waldenström is a Master of Technology, having most recently worked at AFRY, where he has held a series of executive roles since 2017, most recently as VP Head of Sales & Business Development, Industrial & Digital Solutions Division. In his role as Head of Knowit Connectivity, Lennart will also be part of Knowit’s corporate management team.

The business area Connectivity was created following the merger with Cybercom in 2021 and has broadened Knowit’s offer and specialist competence in several areas, such as embedded system solutions, cloud services, 5G technology, and cybersecurity. Demand in these areas has been strong and the business area has had stable growth during the year.

“I am very pleased that we have managed to recruit Lennart to Knowit. Lennart will contribute with broad experience and competence to both the business area Connectivity and Knowit’s corporate management team. Knowit Connectivity has a strong client offer and potential for continued growth and development, and I look forward to working with that journey alongside Lennart,” says Per Wallentin, President of Knowit AB.

Knowit Connectivity currently has around 750 employees in the Nordic region, Poland, and a smaller operation in Germany. The business area’s clients are mainly found in the telecom, vehicle, and manufacturing industries, and it also supplies services to the Swedish Armed Forces.

“I am really looking forward to becoming part of Knowit’s continued venture into areas where I have both a wide interest and long experience. I hope to be able to contribute with a strong focus on the client, but also to help in continuing to develop Knowit Connectivity as an attractive workplace for employees who want to contribute to Knowit’s vision of creating a sustainable and humane society,” says Lennart Waldenström, Head of Knowit Connectivity.
