About

I’m a global business leader with over 25 years of experience across Europe and Asia, having worked in markets like Sweden, Korea, China, India, Vietnam, and Central Europe. My background spans sales, finance, supply, sourcing, and business transformation — but what drives me is something much simpler: making technology work for people, business, and society. Today, I lead Ericsson’s Europe, Middle East & Africa Market Area — a region rich in opportunity, diversity, and talent. My focus is on building high-performing teams, staying close to our customers, and helping them build future-ready networks that are secure, sustainable, and built to deliver real results. At the heart of it all is one belief: when we connect, we grow. And when we grow together, we create real, lasting impact.
