After five years as President and CEO of Björn Borg, Arthur Engel has decided to

“It has been five stimulating and intense years during which I, along with my
fantastic colleagues, have worked to make Björn Borg an even stronger brand,”

efforts to build a competent organization and strong foundation of values within
Björn Borg as a platform for further development and growth. Now it is time for
me to move on at a point which I feel is right for me and at the stage the
company is in.”
