Executive Coach; Former VP Group Strategy; Chartered Psychodynamic Therapist & Family Counselor

About me

I combine a forward-looking and practical approach with strong commitment, warm presence and sensitivity. To my work I bring good business understanding together with leadership experience and qualified experience in psychology.

Executive coaching is aimed at leaders who are already performing at high level, but who need to become even more skilled in their role as leader. I bring deep psychological expertise to my coaching along with an extensive understanding of business and organizational life. Warmth, sensitivity and genuineness are combined with a proactive and practical approach. I work with clients in both Swedish and English in Sweden and abroad. Content of coaching sessions are confidential.

Born in the early 70's, I'm an executive coach, business economist, behavioural scientist, communications specialist, chartered psychodynamic therapist and family counselor with eight years of clinical experience. Worth noting is that the INSEAD Global Leadership Centre is taking a psychodynamic approach to executive education. Previously, I was strategy director with one of the largest publicly listed Swedish companies and a member of its extended group management team. My work involved many hours working directly with the Board of Directors. Prior to this, I held various business development positions in the consumer goods industry, having served as a member of a Nordic management team and lead several corporate change programmes. Having started out in strategy consulting for six years, my work-life experiences cover just over two decades in more than a dozen industries.
