How Olof is building a better working world

There are so many things in this world that must – and can (!) – change for the better. But to make things happen, we all need to be bolder, challenge old assumptions, and combine our skills in new ways.

I give my best to lead by example. I try to build trust among clients so that they dare to take bigger leaps together with us. I am passionate to build teams across and beyond geographies, sectors, service lines and areas of expertise. I make sure to encourage everyone to think big, but to start small and to act with speed.

I want us to help create transformative businesses, services and products that we all – clients and teams –would want to tell our kids about.
