Marcus Storch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcus Storch (born July 28, 1942, in Stockholm) is a Swedish industrialist. He received an engineering degree from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.
Storch spent many years working for AGA AB, and was president and CEO of the company 1981-1996. He is today chairman of the Nobel Foundation, and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Storch has been critical of the degree to which Swedish companies (including AGA) have been taken over by foreign owners, and what he regards as an insufficient regeneration of companies within the country.[1]
Storch's father Hillel Storch was the chairman of the Swedish branch of the World Jewish Congress.[2]
