Consequently, Mikael Aro will leave Carlsberg during summer 2009. Jørgen Buhl Rasmussen, President & CEO of the Carlsberg Group, says: 'I would like to congratulate Mikael Aro on this very prestigious job in Finland. However, I am truly sorry that he has decided to leave Carlsberg, but respect his wish to travel less and be closer to his family. He has done an excellent job in the eleven years he has worked for the Group, not least in his recent position in Northern Europe where he has been instrumental in improving efficiency and driving change in the region.' Michael Aro says: 'Although I am very honoured of this appointment, it has been a very difficult decision to say good buy to the Carlsberg Group and colleagues whom I value a lot. However, I feel I leave the Northern Region in good shape and very fit for future challenges.' A search for replacement of Mikael Aro has started.
