SACC YOUNG PROFESSIONALS 

 

Young Professionals (YP) is a subdivision of the Swedish Australian Chamber of Commerce that’s been around since 2004. We organise and offer a number of events for Swedes living in Sydney and in Melbourne on a temporary to permanent basis and for people interested in Swedish culture and community in general. Professional or student – we welcome all! We aim to create a network for those who are at the initial stages of their careers and are looking to establish themselves in Sydney and Melbourne.

Johannes Nordqvist – SACC YP Board Member

Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) | Sydney

Johannes grew up in the countryside of Skane on the old family farm but moved to Stockholm for his university studies at Stockholm School of Economics. After a few years in the Swedish capital he decided to do a 1-year transfer to Sydney, but the sun and lifestyle proved too enticing and 4.5 years later he’s made Manly his permanent home along with his partner and Cavoodle Mochi. During the week Johannes frequently travels around Australia and New Zealand in his role as Partner at Boston Consulting Group, where he works with leading consumer and retail companies. On the weekend, this is replaced with competitive beach volleyball in the sun and sand of Manly beach, or competitive board games at home with friends. LinkedIn: Johannes Nordqvist
