Ulf Kinneson, general manager of Puma in the Nordics, is to become the new chief executive at Intersport Sverige. The seat was vacated two months ago when Fredrik Johanson left the company after six years in charge. It will still be filled on an interim basis for several weeks, since Kinneson will only switch during the first quarter of next year. The chairman of Intersport Sweden said he was delighted to have recruited such a seasoned executive in the sporting goods industry, at a relatively tough time for the country's retail business.
