(Sweden) – Fredrik Hellberg has been named as the new Head of Light Bureau, the company has announced.
An experienced business leader with a deep knowledge in sales and understanding client needs, Hellberg has previous experience from being part of the management team at Sweden-based architect firm Koncept – another design brand in the AFRY portfolio.
