About

Ericsson is a world-leading global business with roots in Sweden, and requires a range of different types of support to mitigate its legal and compliance challenges. Xavier Dedullen’s position of senior vice president, chief legal officer and head of group function legal affairs and compliance means the company is in safe hands in this regard, owing to his broad international experience across several legal practice areas and business issues. In helping manage the affairs of a global business such as Ericsson, Dedullen can rely on his experience that has seen him utilise legal knowledge in professional environments across the world in a variety of different contexts. A truly global lawyer, he has worked in Europe, the US and Asia covering both established and emerging markets including CIS countries, the Middle East, India and China, as well as working in private practice in a US leading law firm. His career has exposed him to a number of sectors including finance, natural resources, power, telecoms, internet and construction materials, and is relied on by the Ericsson group for his capability in dealing with managerial issues at board level. He has a large amount of experience as member of cross-functional management teams responsible for the organisational, operational, strategic and financial management of the business, having managed global legal, regulatory and compliance departments. In addition to this wealth of professional experience, Dedullen has achieved other things that have helped turn him into the outstanding professional he is today; holding civil and common law degrees, he is a member of the New York Bar and possesses fluency in the English, Dutch and French languages.
