Johan Eriksson has worked at Vasaloppet since 2013 and he has, among other things, been acting sports director and most recently development manager.

- I feel humble before the task and at the same time very enthusiastic. At present, the Vasaloppet is in a stage where we are constantly gaining new experiences and developing as organizers and inspirers for what we basically stand for, exercise and health. Something that has probably never been as relevant as it is now in these times, says Johan Eriksson in a press release.

Chairman Jonas Estéen announces that the Vasaloppet Board intends to begin recruitment work to find a new CEO after Vasaloppet's winter week has been completed next year.
