Stockholmsmässan invests in community building

Stockholmsmässan is strengthening its focus on its built environment business area and recruiting two key people for Nordbygg. A Head of Built Environment and a Key Account Manager who will start on April 20, just before Nordbygg, the Nordic region’s largest meeting place for the construction and real estate industry.

The community building sector is an important focus area for Stockholmsmässan. Meeting places such as Nordbygg bring together players from the entire construction and real estate industry. With the recruitment of Lena Malm and Kristian Wallgren, Stockholmsmässan is strengthening its efforts to develop business, relationships and content for the sector’s players.

Lena Malm new Head of Built Environment
Lena Malm takes up the role of Head of Built Environment at Stockholmsmässan. With over 20 years of experience in the media and event industry, she has held several leading roles, including CEO of Fastighetsnytt and Business Arena within Bonnier News and CEO of Informa Sweden. As COO of Easyfairs Nordic, she was responsible for Kistamässan. She most recently came from the event agency LIWLIG Sweden where she was Head of Commercial.

With extensive experience in business development and creating meeting places between people and companies, she will now be responsible for further developing Stockholmsmässan’s offering in the built environment sector.

– The built environment sector is in an exciting phase of development and I look forward to contributing to strengthening Stockholmsmässan’s role as an obvious meeting place for the industry,” says Lena Malm.

Kristian Wallgren new Key Account Manager
Stockholmsmässan is also recruiting Kristian Wallgren as Key Account Manager. With over twelve years of experience in the real estate and community building industry, he comes most recently from Fastighetsnytt and Business Arena within Bonnier News, where he worked with partnerships and business development. In his new role, he will work to develop relationships and business in the construction and real estate industry as well as contribute to the development of meeting places in community building.

– Nordbygg is an important arena for the civil engineering industry where companies make contacts, do business and initiate new collaborations. It will be fun to get to know our customers and partners and be involved in developing the meeting places further, says Kristian Wallgren.

The recruitments are part of Stockholmsmässan’s continued investment in meeting places for the built environment sector.

– The built environment sector is a priority focus area for Stockholmsmässan and our meeting places play a central role for the industry. I am very pleased with these recruitments. Both Lena and Kristian will bring solid expertise and strong networks to our venues. With them, we further strengthen the team and I look forward to continuing to develop our portfolio together,” says Lina Hann, Director Event & Exhibitions, Stockholmsmässan.
