Niklas Österberg

I am an entrepreneur, strategic advisor and board professional with more than 30 years of experience building, advising and developing companies across markets, industries and stages of growth.

A large part of my work has been alongside founders, owners and boards, often brought in when a company is facing complex decisions around growth, capital, international expansion, commercial strategy or organisational development.

My experience is genuinely international. Over the years, I have built businesses, developed partnerships and worked with companies and teams across Kenya, Tanzania, Russia, Poland, the Baltics, India, the UK, the US and several EU markets.

That has given me a strong understanding of what happens when strategy meets different cultures, regulatory environments, market structures and commercial realities.

I bring an entrepreneurial perspective to the boardroom, combined with hands-on experience of growth, market entry, business development, partnerships and operating in uncertain environments.

I am particularly relevant for companies that are scaling, expanding internationally, entering new markets, professionalising their commercial model or navigating strategic decisions where there is no obvious playbook.

My strongest areas are international expansion, growth strategy, entrepreneurship, commercial development, market entry, strategic decision-making and emerging markets.

I am interested in selected board and advisory roles where broad international experience, entrepreneurial judgement and the ability to connect strategy with execution can add real value.
