“I worked with Mats at Ericsson in almost 2 years. He’s a manager who inspires and motives all colleagues with deep knowledge and positive attitude – great manager!”

“Mats a determined person and always focus on finding new ways of improving daily activities and processes. It was a pleasure working together with him in CIO Advisory Board.”

“Mats are goal focused and highly motivated in his job. Mats is a person that is direct in his communication, and not afraid to speak his mind when necessary to “makes things happen”, always pushing progress in the right direction, but at the same time open minded to new ideas and/or comments. Mats is a great team leader, with in depth knowledge of leadership and management. I would like to give Mats my highest recommendations.”

“Mats are a very open and coaching manager. You can clearly see that he loves his work to empower and develop his staff. He focuses a lot on giving you the opportunity to grow both as individuals and as a team. I have under my time, with Mats as manager, had the possibility to do both. Mats took Contact Center and our team to a new level of support at Ericsson. I thank you for the opportunities given and hope that our paths will cross in the future.”

“Mats were my boss at Ericsson Contact Center where I worked as support agent. I think Mats has strong leadership skills and applies very interesting leadership practices which made our group at Contact Center to grow into a real team. His leadership includes setting proper values and principles, clear goals, working both at a group level and individually with each employee. I really liked how he applied knowledge within group behavior to make our group come together and become a team rather than just a number of individuals working at the same place. I guess that our team was so strong i.a. because Mats also chose correct core values such as honesty and constructive feedback to each other. He also showed leadership by example and was there for us in hard times. All in all, I have very good memories from the times I worked with Mats!”

“Mats and I worked close to each other during our time in the Middle East, where Mats held a position as Financial Controller for the Saudi branches.

“During the work to make a global network of internal Contact Centers, Mats was a key person. As manager of the “template” Contact Center, he was developing all the best practices both in processes, tools, and organizational set-up. And all that with a remarkable people oriented management style. Personally, I knew Mats as a social and always passionate personality – very energizing and inspirational to be around. With a diverse set of experiences, I believe Mats is a person to engage in anything that takes this “extra passion” to get done.”

“Mats were my manager for 1 year at Ericsson. During this time, I got to know Mats as a manager that was very supportive, he made sure that his team always had what was needed to get their work done on time with the right quality and cost. But more than being just a good manager, I found Mats to be that rare type of person that focuses on what is best for the overall business and the company even if it meant sacrificing his own goals. Integrity is probably the best word I would use to describe him as he wasn’t afraid to say what needed to be said and do what needed to be done. It was extremely refreshing to work with a manager who also didn’t mind going against “big company politics” in order for the overall business to succeed. I would highly recommend Mats as an asset to any business and would be glad to work alongside him again. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Mats.”

The Contact Center team stuck together as “karlssons klister (glue)” and made some great results despite the volatile support environment within Ericsson at the time.”

“Mats are the kind of leader who is giving his employees the opportunity to grow in their roles and responsibilities for them to be the right person in the right place. With his tremendous amount of experience in leading and coaching people, he secures that goals are met, recognizes the successes and provides feedback with the sole purpose to learn and improve, realizing that their internal motivation is increasing. In the period that I reported to him, I got to know him as an open, honest and direct person. A person to whom you at any time could reflect your ideas and visions with. In times where our surroundings are demanding for each individual, leaders like Mats are needed to keep a team motivated, focussed and empowered. It has been really a pleasure to work with Mats.
