Robert’s elevation to the position of CPO is a testament to his instrumental role in shaping and expanding Nepa's product offerings. With a track record spanning 8 years at the company, most recently as the Head of R&D, Robert has been at the forefront of fostering innovation and refining the product strategy. Last year, he was awarded the ESOMAR’s Insight250 award.

At the same time, Niclas Öhman, Head of Marketing Science and former CPO, has decided to step down from his current position in order to embark on a long-held personal aspiration, but will continue to serve as a Senior Advisor and provide his support in client deliveries until the end of May 2024.

Henceforth, the Marketing Science department will be structured under the newly appointed interim COO, Anders Dahl.

“I am delighted to welcome Robert to the Group Management team as our CPO. This strategic appointment represents a natural progression that aligns perfectly with Nepa’s overarching objectives. Robert's deep expertise within market research, coupled with his strategic acumen, is positioned to significantly enhance our market presence. Simultaneously, I want to thank Niclas for his remarkable and indescribable contributions to the company. As he transitions into his new role as a Senior Advisor, I hold firm belief that his invaluable insights and extensive knowledge will continue to enrich our initiatives,” says interim CEO Ferry Wolswinkel.
