Johan Inden has been appointed as the new CEO of Nimbus Group AB, with effect from September 1 2025.
Johan succeeds Jan-Erik Lindström, who earlier this year informed the Nimbus board of directors that he would retire once a new CEO is in place.
Johan has more than 15 years’ of experience in senior leadership roles in the marine and boating industry.
He is currently president of the Marine Business Unit at Volvo Penta, where he has led the company’s global marine operations since 2018.
Previously, Johan was responsible for product development, procurement, and strategy at Volvo Penta.
Over the course of his career, Johan has also had experience in developing small and medium-sized enterprises both within and outside the marine industry.
“Following Jan-Erik Lindström’s successful efforts in developing Nimbus Group, we now welcome Johan Inden, a highly experienced leader with a solid background in the marine industry,” explained Mats Engblom, Nimbus Group board chairman.
