SACC Sydney Event 15 Aug – Absolut Swedish and Australian Cross-Cultural Leadership

29 August, 2024

 

The Swedish and Australian Cross-Cultural Leadership Event at Pernod Ricard, Barangaroo in Sydney on 15 August was a great success!

We heard from our panel of leaders how cultural nuances shape leadership, communication styles, decision-making processes and conflict approaches. The discussion highlighted the tremendous potential that lies in combining the best of Australian and Swedish leadership styles. This synergy opens the door to unique opportunities that drive innovation and collaboration.

The following panellists shared their journeys and how they navigated the complexities and triumphs of leading in both Swedish and Australian contexts. 

  • Christian Westerlind Wigström, CEO Monoova, LinkedIn
  • Petra Andren, CEO Sting Advisory, LinkedIn
  • Erik Abelsson, CEO Diakrit, LinkedIn
  • Jan Gardberg, Former CEO IKEA Australia, LinkedIn

The discussion was led by:

  • Camilla Bullock, CEO, Emerging Payments Association ASIA, LinkedIn
  • Jonas Lindholm, Principal Consultant KingHill, LinkedIn

Huge thank you to our panellists, Petra Andrén, Christian Westerlind Wigstrom, Erik Abelsson, Jan Gardberg, and our brilliant facilitators Camilla Bullock and Jonas Lindholm. Special thank you to Erik Dahl at Pernod Ricard for amazing event sponsorship and hosting.
