Executive Leader helping organisations transform through leadership, people and business performance

About Me

I believe this opportunity is an excellent match with both my experience and what genuinely motivates me. Throughout my career, I have been at my best when partnering with CEOs and executive teams during periods of growth, transformation, restructuring and organisational change. Rather than seeing HR as a support function, I have always approached it as a strategic lever for improving business performance through leadership, organisational design and people. Having worked in large international organisations such as Nordea and SiriusPoint, as well as in owner-driven environments like Nordstjernan and Indutrade, I have developed the ability to quickly understand different businesses, identify what drives performance and help leadership teams translate strategy into organisational capability. What excites me about the Fractional CHRO model is the opportunity to contribute across several organisations, bringing an external perspective while becoming a trusted partner to founders, CEOs and leadership teams. I particularly enjoy stepping into situations where organisations need to scale, transform or strengthen leadership, and helping create high-performing cultures where people thrive and businesses succeed. This is exactly where I believe I create the greatest value.
