The nomination is a recognition of leadership that combines strategic sharpness, personal humility, and a strong focus on development and long-term value creation. According to the nomination, Lovisa creates space for diverse perspectives, challenges established ways of thinking, and works with a clear ambition to develop businesses that remain relevant and successful in the future.
For Lovisa, Herenco’s guiding principle,
Always

Future
– is more than a vision. It is an approach that shapes her board leadership and reflects a commitment to continuously developing people, businesses, and ideas for the future. Through curiosity, a long-term perspective, and a strong commitment to growth and development, she helps create the conditions for the next chapter in Herenco’s history.

It is also particularly significant that Lovisa is the first woman to represent Jönköping County in the Golden Gavel competition. The nomination not only marks a personal achievement but also highlights the importance of diversity and different perspectives in boardrooms and executive leadership.

We congratulate Lovisa on this prestigious recognition and wish her the very best of luck in the national final.
Congratulations, Lovisa!
