Bio
Anna Jeansson
Charlotte and I have worked many years together, first as colleagues in Volvo Commercial Finance and then also during her time at Volvo Truck Corporation and in Volvo Trucks Germany when we both worked within Volvo Trucks. Apart from her high knowledge and experience from different areas of the business, Charlotte has a high degree of common sense and an ability to find constructive solutions. She is a person I turn to in order to discuss issues and / or seek advice. She has a strategic long-term focus but with a drive to improve the day-to-day business and way of working. As a person, Charlotte keeps her calm in difficult situations and has a high capability to manage stress. She is a good listener, a team-player and easy to work with.
