At Headlight International, we have spent 25 years developing an outstanding network of sources. At the same time, we recognize that a “generalist boutique” can sometimes struggle to have in-depth knowledge of all the different environments we operate in. While we have experienced colleagues and a proven methodology for quickly adapting to new contexts, we have now established a concept called “Knowledge Partners” – a group of exceptional experts with specialized knowledge in various fields. These experts may be functional specialists or bring insights into specific industries.
This time, we have the honor of introducing our Legal Knowledge Partner, Mikael Sundström. Mikael spent the final 20 years of his professional career at Scania, serving as Senior Vice President & General Counsel, Corporate Legal Affairs and Risk Management. In this role, he held global responsibility for business law, security, operational risk management, and intellectual property. Before that, he spent nearly as long at Ericsson in various legal roles, including Chief Legal Counsel for Ericsson in China and, ultimately, Vice President of Corporate Legal Affairs at the parent company.
After retiring a few years ago, Mikael has recently begun to feel the urge to become more involved again – as an advisor or board member.
Given his extensive network and his personality, we believe Headlight will benefit greatly from Mikael’s expertise and insight, particularly in connection with the recruitment of General Counsels. We are very much looking forward to our collaboration!
