- "I am extremely excited about the opportunity to return to the hospitality industry and in particular to such a well-known and established brand as High Chaparral. I am really looking forward to being part of the development journey that the company has now started where resources are added to develop and improve the employee experience. I am passionate about working in a value-driven business and in High Chaparral I have found the right opportunity for that, says Fredrik Jonsson.
In connection with Fredrik Jonsson taking up his position, Staffan Svensson, formerly Head of Theater and HR, is moving to a dedicated position as Head of Theater. The change is part of an increased investment in the theme park's current and future theater and entertainment offerings.
