Ericsson shook up its reporting structure with the promotion of Head of Corporate and Government Investigations Rebecca Rohr to chief compliance officer.

Rohr will “oversee the compliance team as well as the investigations office, bringing both functions under a single leader,” the Swedish telecommunications company announced in a press release Tuesday.

“With the change in reporting structure and [Rohr] as our new CCO, we will continue to build and transform our culture focusing on strong decision-making and risk management, effective oversight, and accountability,” said Börje Ekholm, Ericsson president and chief executive, in the release. “Ethical standards shall continue to stand in the center of everything we do and be our competitive strength.”
