I come from Östersund, where my family and grown-up children live. In daily life, I divide my time between my home in Jämtland and an apartment in Stockholm’s Vasastan/Hagastaden. That balance has given me both strong family ties and a daily rhythm full of energy. In my free time, I enjoy riding my motorcycle – for me, it represents freedom, focus, and the feeling of being fully present in the moment.Professionally, I have held leadership roles in the automotive industry for many years. This has given me confidence in leading people, building strong relationships, and developing businesses. But what drives me most is the interaction between people – creating a work environment where engagement and customer satisfaction go hand in hand with results.
