Partner Spotlight: An interview with Katarina Brixéus, Managing Partner, Boyden Sweden

This interview with Katarina Brixéus is the first in a series from #BoydenSweden exploring strengths, challenges, and passions as Managing Partner at Boyden Sweden.

What are your specializations and strengths in the recruitment industry?

Katarina: I specialize in sectors where I have the most personal management experience. My background and experience working for consumer and retail companies has provided a good foundation for understanding the many challenges that may exist in those industries. I am a good listener and very responsive which means I am able to get an in-depth understanding of my client’s situation and needs. This ultimately helps give the candidate and a clearer and honest picture of the company and position. 

What trends do you see in recruitment?

Katarina: Today, international experience and background are often in demand, which means that we need to present candidates from several countries. Our global capabilities have become increasingly important to us, especially our ability to work "seamlessly" in the Nordic countries.

What topics are you most passionate about? 

Katarina: I am passionate about gender equality issues in the workforce, especially women's opportunities to pursue a career on equal terms and be equally represented at all board and managerial levels. It is extremely important to use the platform you have to influence recruiting decisions. We can discuss the matter with clients who are not yet actively working on the issue and we can assure that competent women who are not already "on the radar" for high-level positions will have an opportunity. This makes our work extra fun and meaningful!
