Narlinge to Head Fokker Space
Saab plans to appoint Jan Narlinge as president and CEO of Fokker Space, once European Union regulators approve the company's joint acquisition by Saab Ericsson Space (65%) and Stork (35%). A former Swedish air force fighter and test pilot, Narlinge has held several senior positions at Saab, including director of systems and flight test, and was formerly head of the Gripen fighter program.
