The Board of Directors of Nimbus Group has appointed Johan Inden as the new CEO of Nimbus Group AB, with the appointment taking effect 1st of September. Johan Inden succeeds Jan-Erik Lindström, who earlier this year informed the Board that he would retire once a new CEO is in place.

Johan Inden brings with him more than 15 years of experience from senior leadership roles in the marine and boating industry. He will be leaving his position as President of the Marine Business Unit at Volvo Penta, where since 2018 he has led the company’s global marine operations. Previously, Johan was responsible for product development, procurement, and strategy at Volvo Penta. Over the course of his career, Johan has also built up a broad experience in developing small and medium-sized enterprises both within and outside the marine industry.

“Following Jan-Erik Lindström’s successful efforts in developing Nimbus Group, we now welcome Johan Inden, a highly experienced leader with a solid background in the marine industry,” says Mats Engblom, Chairman of the Board of Nimbus Group AB. “His visionary leadership in developing companies and people, together with a strong focus on entrepreneurship, will be highly valuable in making Nimbus Group a stronger and larger player in the global boating industry.”

“The Board aims to strengthen and accelerate Nimbus Group’s core strengths by bringing in new perspectives. We are confident that Johan Inden has the right background, insights, and experience—as well as the drive and determination—to lead the company forward.”

“I’m grateful for the Board’s confidence and feel truly excited about this opportunity,” says Johan Inden. “After spending many years in the marine industry, it’s hard to imagine a more inspiring and energizing role. I’m very much looking forward to engaging with the Nimbus Group team, its customers, and suppliers, to develop and grow the company in the years to come.”

Johan Inden is 51 years old and will be based at Nimbus Group’s headquarters in Gothenburg. He holds a Master of Science (MSc) degree from Chalmers University of Technology and a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree from the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg.
