Rosie Kropp has been appointed to the board of directors of the Swedish based coffee group Löfbergs. Rosie is a senior advisor in brand development, transformation and marketing. She has 25 years of experience from senior leadership positions in global companies and consulting firms.

“It feels great to welcome Rosie to us at Löfbergs. She has an impressive résumé with international experience of building strong brands and companies. She will be a valuable asset in our continuous work to create long-term sustainable growth,” says Katherine Löfberg, chair of Löfbergs.

“Löfbergs is a fine family business, run with great passion and genuine values, which is important to me. The company has an inspiring agenda for the future that focuses on customer experience, sustainability, innovation and building the brand internationally. I look forward to be a part of an exciting journey and contribute to the continuous success of Löfbergs,” says Rosie Kropp.

Rosie Kropp has an MSc in Economics from Stockholm School of Economics. Since 2012, she is the CEO and Senior Advisor at Lavandel, an international consulting firm focusing on strategic brand and business development.

External majority
The board of Löfbergs now consists of seven people, four women and three men. The owner family has three representatives; the rest of the members are external.

“It is fully in line with our ambition to have a majority of external board members. As a family business, it is extra important to get in external persons who can, want and dare to challenge and complete the vision of the owners. It makes us stronger,” says Kathrine Löfberg.
