Having known Patrik since 2000 and seeing how he and Rolf worked together, I could see he was being groomed for great things. UN will do well with his steady head as CEO, and continue on Rolf's legacy.
Congrats to UN for keeping it in-house too, continuity of their unique brand is assured by this move, rather than bringing in some "Industry veteran" or other such "Luxury brand CEO" to head the company.
Best wishes for the future,
Cheers,
Tim
