Dinolift announces new CEO

Dinolift has appointed Lars Schulman as its new CEO, taking over from Petter Rönnlöf, who has stepped down from the role with immediate effect following mutual agreement with the board of directors.

Schulman has served on Dinolift’s board since 2020 and knows the company and the powered access industry well, said the company.

His background is in commercial and strategic development, with his current role being CEO of Finland-based B2B marketing agency VML Finland, which has an international network.

It is expected he will start in September this year, with Karin Godenhielm stepping in to serve as interim CEO until that time. Godenhielm had been CEO of the company before Rönnlöf took on the position in March 2025. 

Tom Nickels, chairman of the board, commented, “I would like to warmly thank Petter for his contribution to Dinolift and wish him every success in the future.

“I am pleased to welcome Lars as Dinolift’s new CEO. Lars knows the company well and has the capabilities and experience needed to lead Dinolift into its next phase of development and to further strengthen the company’s position as a leading manufacturer of premium-quality aerial work platforms.”

Schulman added, “I am excited to step into the role of CEO at Dinolift and help the company enter its next stage of international growth.

“The investments made in product development and in our production facilities in Loimaa in recent years are significant, and I look forward to growing the business together with our customers, partners and the Dinolift team.”
