About
Strategic Growth Partner | Market Entry & B2B Expansion Specialist | NextClient.se
I represent NextClient.se, a Swedish growth consultancy helping B2B companies accelerate revenue, enter new markets, and expand into the Nordics and beyond. Through a proven model combining market insight, targeted lead generation, and strategic advisory, we support companies that want faster client acquisition, stronger pipelines, and measurable growth results.
With 20+ years of executive and entrepreneurial experience in scaling companies internationally, I bring both hands-on leadership and operational expertise. Before founding NextClient.se, I helped build and scale a staffing and recruitment group from 2 employees to over 100 MSEK in revenue, expanding the business across Europe and Southeast Asia.
How NextClient.se Supports Companies via Boardio
- Market Entry Guidance: Evaluate and strategize entry into Sweden/Nordics or Europe with local insight and validated outreach.
- Advisor + Execution Model: Not only do we advise — we actively support with targeted outreach to decision-makers.
- Lead Generation & Sales Validation: Build and test value propositions, qualify interest, and create real sales opportunities.
- Partnership & Channel Expansion: Identify and connect with distributors, partners, or corporate buyers.
My personal relevant background:
- Led long-term growth of a staffing & recruitment group to 111 MSEK turnover, ensuring profitability for 15+ years.
- Founded and managed the company’s international expansion into Metro Manila, building local operations from scratch.
- Co-owner of Bagasi.com, a Swedish lifestyle brand with a global supply chain and digital sales strategy.
- Experienced in working with CEOs, founders, and management teams needing structured, practical help to accelerate growth.
What Types of Advisory Projects I’m Interested In:
Companies entering or expanding within Sweden, the Nordics, or Europe
- B2B companies looking to grow pipelines, validate markets, or accelerate sales
- Professional services, tech, SaaS, consulting, and niche B2B sectors
- International companies seeking a local growth partner instead of only a conceptual advisor
