Johanna Andersén

An executive leader and advisor passionate about growing businesses through innovation, strategies and ecosystems. I have built several high performing business development organizations (10-250/500 FTEs) and leading digital innovations. Often years ahead of market, always radically reforming financial services. Digital Business, Product & Service Design combined with P/L responsibility simply make my heart sing.

Ambitious and executable growth strategies have always been my foundation. I have created extraordinary strategies in all corners of the world both as a leader and as an advisor. Empowering people in reforming their future, sparking inspiration and creating business opportunities simultaneously - what could be better! Lately I have enjoyed turning strategies dynamic, purpose driven and supported Open Finance in Australia leveraging on experiences gained in The UK and Nordics.

My third sweet spot is navigating between organizations capturing opportunities. Some call this ecosystem building or B2B sales. I call it good business with integrity, relationship building with tangible results and the ultimate test for strategy and innovation. This is what I have grown into having led business development for a long time. Understanding both sides of the equation has proven to be an unmatched asset which “natural born sales folks” never get. Ecosystems need to be actively managed or they end up managing your business - it%27s not just another buzz word.

I have enjoyed a multifaceted, global career and been successful within leading brands, Fintechs, a challenger bank and as an entrepreneur. I have 20+ years of experience in transforming Financial Services, which I have expanded to Retail and Circular Economy in 2020. My themes continue to evolve around growing business and transforming industries with magnificent people. And continuously learning new things myself.
