I’ve made a short video production myself as a brief visual introduction to my work in management and communication assignments, alongside governance responsibilities through board roles.
In sub-zero temperatures, surrounded by snow and ice, I go down there every night just to feel the beat.
I am now entering a new phase in my operative work and am available for new assignments.
My existing board assignments in listed and owner-led companies continue unchanged. Alongside these roles, I have for several years worked through my own company in management- and communication-focused assignments, typically in companies undergoing transition.
I continue to run my business as usual, while remaining open for larger or more comprehensive assignments as they arise.
At my second training session, I kept scrolling through the Financial Times podcasts and ended up on Tech Tonic, where the discussion immediately moved beyond products and hype and into power.
The episode unpacked how influence has shifted from pure technological dominance to political and regulatory leverage, with control over data, platforms, and infrastructure increasingly protected through access to state power and strategic alignment rather than innovation alone.

At my first training session today, I was accompanied by the Financial Times Unhedged podcast, a sharp, clear-eyed take on the ups and downs of the moment. The noise is loud, the swings are real, but the underlying ground remains the same.
As discussed in the FT Unhedged podcast, this is worth pointing out precisely because political headlines can create the illusion of structural change. In reality, nothing has changed. US equities and options remain the core arena for global risk. Scale, liquidity, and derivatives depth are unmatched, meaning that even when uncertainty originates elsewhere, positioning, hedging, and price discovery still resolve through US markets, and for now, there is no viable substitute.

I came across the outlook from a major Swedish bank while listening to a podcast during one of my training sessions. It is well documented and, at this stage, strongly focused on risk — uncertainty being the dominant theme.
From my perspective, with US midterm elections approaching and living costs still elevated, the administration’s focus is likely to shift further toward populist, consumer-friendly economic measures aimed at resonating with voters. In the near term, this could help dampen market risks by supporting household sentiment and consumption. In the end, roughly 70% of the US economy is driven by consumer spending.
Swedbank notes that the global economy has entered a more uncertain phase following a calmer second half of 2025. Growth is continuing, but momentum is weak and risks have increased.
For Europe and Sweden, Swedbank forecasts modest growth supported by easing inflation and gradual interest-rate cuts. However, export-dependent economies remain vulnerable to geopolitical tensions and renewed trade frictions.
Overall, Swedbank’s outlook for 2026 is cautious: subdued growth, easing inflation, gradual monetary easing — and unusually high uncertainty across the US, Europe, and Sweden.
