Prior to that she worked in Ã…re with PR, destination development and place branding for e.g. Ã…re Destination and Skistar. She has also run her own business in the same area of expertise.

"Having worked extensively with the "Sweden" brand internationally in previous roles, I know how proud we can be of our industry, technology and energy production," said Helena Engelbrecht, Head of Communications, Midsummer. "Midsummer is an exceptionally interesting company that is at the forefront in terms of innovation and technology within renewable energy. I am proud to become a part of the Midsummer team and to further strengthen the visibility of the Midsummer brand both locally and globally and towards investors",
