Within Permian's dynamic setting, growth is not just a goal; it is a journey marked by a strategic succession planning and the empowerment of talented individuals. 

Appointed CFO for Sweden

Previously, our operations in both Norway and Sweden were overseen by a shared Group CFO, but with our rapid growth and development, it is now necessary to have a dedicated CFO for Sweden to address our specific market needs. Therefore, we are pleased to welcome Aleksandar Tomevski to Permian. With a wealth of experience spanning over a decade in finance-related roles, Aleksandar joins us as our new CFO for Permian Sweden.

His professional journey includes a significant tenure at a leading global accounting firm, where he specialized in IPOs and provided strategic consulting to CFOs, aiding in the transformation of finance functions. Additionally, Aleksandar brings valuable insights from his background as an auditor within the financial services sector and his involvement in system implementation projects.

"My goal is for the finance function to take on a forward-thinking, advisory role that actively contributes to the business with value-added insights for profitable growth, without compromising on the high quality we deliver to our customers" says Aleksandar. Permian is confident that Aleksandar's expertise will play a pivotal role in driving our financial strategy forward and contributing to Permian's continued success. 

Interim CEOs for Permian Administration AB and Permian Business Partner AS 

With a firm commitment to nurturing internal talent, we continuously strengthen our organization, not only in the present but also in the future. It is a natural consequence of being a company characterized by young and highly skilled employees. By rotating personnel in various roles, we do not only establish an effective succession plan but also broaden the expertise across different areas. This rotation also creates a holistic understanding of our operations, benefiting everyone in the company.
