PROFESSIONAL CAREER
Over the years, I have had the opportunity of working for large and prestigious B2B corporations and financial institutions on all continents (except Antartica!).
I have lived, worked and travelled the world from north to south and have set up (and disbanded) ventures in North America, South America, Africa, Russia, Australia and China.
I possess a diverse range of expertise, including company turnarounds, establishing new service corporations, pioneering innovative IT platforms, and optimizing manufacturing processes. I have built up sustainable teams and organisations and have earned a reputation for inspiring teams to outperform their goals.
I attribute my success to an unwavering belief in the human spirit. I believe in trust, collaboration and integrity and that we can all create a better world, starting at our places of work.
I have also served as Director on several boards for both companies and organisations.
I work mostly with C-suite executives. I speak Swedish, English, French, Russian and German.
