BonaKemi restructures senior team
Aurora, Colo.—BonaKemi USA recently announced a restructuring of its senior management due to organizational changes by parent company BonaKemi AB in Malmo, Sweden. Ron Peden, president and CEO of the North American subsidiary, will no longer be with the company.

“Ron Peden, who has been so instrumental in BonaKemi’s growth and success, will no longer be with the company,” said Dr. Kerstin Lindell, BonaKemi AB president and CEO. “His sense of integrity, loyalty, honesty, ethics, values and drive to care for people are a rarity in the business world today and will be greatly missed. We wish Ron the best with all of his future endeavors.”

These changes for Bona-Kemi USA are part of the overall organizational strategy implemented in the European, Latin American and Asia Pacific markets as well, Lindell explained. “For the purposes of operating in a more global and strategic fashion while enhancing communications, operating efficiencies and aligning our cost structures, we have eliminated the role of president of BonaKemi USA.”

Lindell will temporarily serve as managing director for BonaKemi USA to ensure a smooth transition to the new structure. The executive team, who will report to Lindell, includes: John Rauvola, sales and marketing; Kirk Roberts, product management; Paul England, operations; Brad Stone, finance, and Erin Wright, human resources.
