Peter "Pirre" Wallenberg Sr. (29 May 1926 – 19 January 2015) was a Swedish business leader who was chairman of Investor AB for ten years.

Early life and education

Wallenberg was born in Skeppsholm Parish, Stockholm, Sweden,[1] into the Wallenberg finance family, which has roots in Östergötland. He was the son of banker Marcus Wallenberg Jr. and his Scottish wife Dorothy (née Mackay), the younger brother of Marc Wallenberg and the nephew of Jacob Wallenberg.[2] He earned a Candidate of Law degree in 1949 from Stockholm College, now Stockholm University.[3]{{#tag:ref|Other sources says 1953.[4][5]|group=note}}

Career

He began his career in 1953 at Atlas Copco AB. Wallenberg worked at its subsidiary in the United States from 1956 to 1959 and was CEO of its subsidiary in Rhodesia from 1959 to 1962 and in Congo from 1960 to 1962 and in England from 1962 to 1967.[4] He was CEO of Atlas Copco MCT AB (Mining and Construction Technique) in Stockholm from 1968 to 1970 and Vice CEO of Atlas Copco AB from 1970 to 1974. Wallenberg was industrial advisor to the Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB) from 1974.[4] For a long time he stood in the shadow of his father, who made his oldest son Marc his apprentice and doubted his youngest son Peter's abilities.[6]{{Page needed|date=March 2017}}[7]{{Page needed|date=March 2017}} Only in 1982, after his father's death, did he become a prominent member of the Wallenberg clan. After his father's death, Peter Wallenberg bought out Volvo's shares in two family businesses and merged the three family investment firms, Investor AB, Providentia and Export Invest. He served as chairman of Investor AB for ten years,[8] during which time he internationalised the firm and set in motion international mergers that created companies such as ABB, AstraZeneca and Stora Enso.[9]

Wallenberg was also honorary chairman of the Swedish Tennis Association (Svenska Tennisförbundet) and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences.[10]

Wallenberg was in the early 1990s the chairman of the board of ASEA AB, Atlas Copco AB, Investor AB, STORA, Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and co-chairman of ABB Asea Brown Boveri. He was first vice chairman of SEB, vice chairman of AB Electrolux, Incentive AB, AB SKF and Telefon AB LM Ericsson. Wallenberg was also board member of the Federation of Swedish Industries, Nobel Foundation, Scandinavian Airlines, Swedish Intercontinental Airlines, AB Aerotransport, the Swedish National Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and Immediate Past President of the ICC in Paris.[12] He was also board member of the Stockholm School of Economics Association, Dillon, Read & Co. in the United States, Per Jacobsson Foundation in the United States, Lauder Institute and the Swiss Bank Corporation Advisory Board in Switzerland.[12] Until his death he also directed several of the Wallenberg family foundations, in particular the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation. The Peter Wallenberg, D.Econ, Foundation for Economics and Technology (Ekon.dr Peter Wallenbergs Stiftelse för Ekonomi och Teknik) was founded in 1996 to honour him on his 70th birthday.

Personal life and death

Wallenberg was in his first marriage married 1954–1962 to Suzanne Grevillius (born 1933), the daughter of chief physician Åke Grevillius and Sylvia (née Stenhammar). Together they had three children: Jacob Wallenberg (born 1956), Andrea Gandet (born 1957) and Peter Wallenberg, Jr. (born 1959).[2][13] In his second marriage he was married 1966-1969 to Alice Pearce Rosier (1944–1970) and the third marriage 1971-1980 to the judge Anna-Maria Eek (born 1927).[2]

Wallenberg died in his residence in Värmdö on 19 January 2015 at the age of 88.[14][15] The funeral was held in Katarina Church in Stockholm on 4 February 2015. It was attended by the king Carl XVI Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Prince Carl Philip, Stefan Löfven, Leif Johansson, Cristina Stenbeck, Pehr G.
