SACC USA NEW CHAIRMAN

We are very happy to announce that Michael C. Andersson is the new chairman at SACC-USA Michael has had a 37-year long career with the Swedish Aerospace and Defense Company Saab. Michael and his family moved to the U.S. in 2011 and since then he has been leading Saab’s efforts to grow their business in North America. With a long standing belief in utilizing networks of knowledgeable and experienced individuals, he feels that SACC-USA’s network of 20 chambers is uniquely positioned. Having been active in both SACC–NY and SACC-DC provides Michael with a good foundation to start from, but he is very eager to gain even more exposure to the many other chambers across the U.S. and to collectively continue strengthening the SACC-USA network.
