Background
MSc in Business and Management from Stockholm School of Economics. Exchange studies at Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México in Mexico City.
What motivates me
To constantly be challenged as it makes me learn new things every day.
Why I choose to work at Axholmen
There are two main reasons. Firstly, Axholmen works with various companies in multiple industries facing different business challenges, this enhances my overall learning. Secondly, when doing an internship in the spring of 2021, I felt like a member of the team from day one. The culture at the firm is amazing.
To challenge our own perceptions, and our clients’ established truths, is at our core. By being a challenger, we create value beyond facilitation and project management.
Our focus is on what creates most value to our clients. We know that “success for our client equals success for Axholmen“ and aim for win-win situations in all our client relationships.
Sustainable success is based on high ethical standards – a good business deal must create long term value for the client even after the project is completed. It presumes integrity to stand up for important findings even when the truth is uncomfortable.
In our deliverables we highlight what is most important from a business perspective and present clear decision points. We keep our focus on the project’s purpose and goal, we
adjust our ways and means to get there. We adapt to the client’s corporate culture.
We are interested in the individual and care beyond the current engagement. We build loyalty and lasting relationships with the client. We are there for each other and for Axholmen, also in busy times– when we give we also receive.
