Earlier this year, Scandinavian Tobacco Group, the parent company of Cigars International and General Cigar Co., announced that its chief financial officer would be leaving in May. Now the company has a replacement.

Marianne Rørslev Bock will become the company’s new cfo. She currently serves as the cfo of Brødrene Hartmann A/S, a company that produces packaging materials for eggs. Prior to that, she worked at Danisco.

She is expected to join the company by Jan. 1, 2019.

“I am happy to welcome Marianne Rørslev Bock as new CFO and member of the Executive Management at Scandinavian Tobacco Group,” said Niels Frederiksen, ceo of STG, in a statement. “She has a strong financial background with solid M&A experience and brings with her business acumen in combination with great leadership and communication skills. Her experience and competences will undoubtedly benefit our company.”

Sisse Fjelsted Rasmussen, the company’s outgoing cfo, is said to be “available to the company until the end of August.”
