International Talent Attraction

Sweden

About

At Stockholm Business Region, my focus is international talent attraction. We want to make sure that highly skilled professionals know Stockholm is actively looking for them. The companies here depend on global talent to compete and grow. My background includes several years managing the EURES network in Sweden and collaborating with partners across Europe, overseeing compliance with EU labour market regulations and working closely with the EU Commission. I’ve always believed in the power of labour mobility, and spent a lot of that time making the case for why moving countries for work is worth exploring. Years of working with recruitment and executive search across multiple countries have given me a hands-on understanding of what employers need when it comes to skills and finding people who will stay and thrive
