Lufthansa names Ulrik Svensson as new CFO
Lufthansa said Ulrik Svensson would be its new CFO, taking over from Simone Menne, who is stepping down in August amid efforts to put the airline on a surer financial footing. The airline said Svensson, currently CEO of Swedish investment company Melker Schörling AB, would take up the role Jan. 1, 2017. Svensson has also worked as Managing Director Finance and CFO of Swiss International Air Lines and played an important role in that company’s turnaround and its acquisition by Lufthansa. Lufthansa is restructuring to cut costs and boost competitiveness. Lufthansa announced in June that Menne would be leaving the company and said Friday that CEO Carsten Spohr will act as financial chief until Svensson comes on board in the new year.<br/>
