Biography
Jonas Kleberg is the Chairman and CEO of Soya Group, a multi-billion dollar Swedish family conglomerate.
He is the grandson of Olof Wallenius, who founded the group in 1934.
The family's wealth stems primarily from shipping, including a major stake in Wallenius Wilhelmsen, one of the world's largest car carriers.
Under Kleberg's leadership, the group has diversified into real estate, wind-propulsion technology, and forestry.
He and his sister, Annika Bootmans Kleberg, each own 50% of the Soya Group, which also includes a trotting horse breeding operation.
About
The family company is named "Soya" because the founder's first vessels in the 1930s were converted to carry soybean oil, a pioneering move at the time.
