Nice to meet you!
I’m Per Olof. I have an (unhealthy according to some…) interest in everything about logistics, transportation, Supply chain management, digitalization, electrification, sustainability, tech, strategy, podcasting, pizza making, Tarantino movies and other important stuff.
I am an independent advisor, speaker, board member and visionary explainer with a background in both academia and industry spanning 35 years.
I think I have a knack for explaining complex things, for complicating seemingly simple things, for seeing the big picture when everyone else are drowning in details, for getting things done and also for enabling and supporting creative development.
Broad and deep
During my career I have been fortunate to be able to not only go deep into subjects but also to go wide, spending time in many domains.
