About

As CEO of Statista, I work with our global teams to keep our focus on what matters most to our customers: making complex, reliable data accessible and easy to use wherever and whenever they need it. I bring extensive experience from leading in high-growth companies like Klarna and FreeNow, where I successfully navigated crisis management and strategic change. Leading through uncertainty has taught me the value of open, honest and transparent communication. In times shaped by AI, change is a constant companion in our industry, and I believe embracing it with the right mindset is key. For me, leadership is about clear direction, trust and fostering a culture of radical candor. This mindset shapes how we work at Statista, where we challenge ourselves every day to stay adaptable and focus on what truly creates value.
