UMEÅ, Sweden, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- W3 Energy is one of Sweden's leading active asset managers in renewable energy production. The company has now appointed Jesper Åkerlund as its new CEO, starting on December 1, 2025, and expectations for the recruitment are high.

"We have grown rapidly in recent years, and Jesper Åkerlund is the perfect fit to lead us into the next phase as a company. He brings clear leadership, strong business expertise and a results-oriented mindset," says Per Olofsson, Chairman of the Board and principal owner of W3 Energy.
