Question #1
Given Karlstromer’s playbook of aggressive cost-cutting and exiting underperforming businesses, how does he balance delivering near-term synergies against making the necessary investments to compete and drive long-term organic growth?
Question #2
As Karlstromer’s record at Securitas and Cisco suggests he is a world-class implementer of pre-defined corporate strategy, is he equally capable of setting a new, independent strategic vision for a complex business like GN Hearing where he has no direct industry experience?
