About James Larsson
I thrive on tackling challenges that others might avoid. Whether leading teams in manufacturing, construction, financial services, retail, or automotive, my passion lies in solving complex problems and driving success in demanding environments.
Over the years, my career has taken me across the globe. I’ve partnered with industry leaders such as Swedbank, Nykredit Bank, Sparbank Nord, Tryg, Nestlé, Nissan, Sony Ericsson, and Accenture and more, applying innovative strategies to solve complex business challenges. Each organization benefited from innovative approaches to improve efficiencies and achieve sustainable growth.
Throughout my career, I’ve held various leadership roles, from Project Manager to Managing Director. What remains constant across these roles is my hands-on leadership style. I’ve led technical management projects, turned around underperforming businesses, and managed teams of all sizes—all with a focus on operational excellence and long-term growth.
My academic background includes two Masters of Science degrees—one in Lund University and one in Leadership and Strategy from London Business School’s Sloan program.
I’ve been recognized with the EU Seal of Excellence and have been named one of Britain’s most promising fintech entrepreneurs.
What sets me apart is my ability to seamlessly integrate business strategy with AI-driven innovation. I believe that technology and leadership are two sides of the same coin. They work best when they complement each other, and my expertise lies in serving as the bridge between both worlds. By ensuring that AI and technology actively support business transformation, I’ve helped companies achieve significant growth—often increasing profitability by 30%.
I’ve consistently been called into complex projects where immediate solutions were needed. These high-pressure situations motivate me, as I thrive on delivering innovative solutions that ensure success. Whether it’s leading turnarounds in struggling operations or managing key initiatives under pressure, I apply a fresh, strategic approach to overcoming both business and technology challenges.
My experience spans leading operations in both projects and large companies, managing sizable teams, and driving transformations across industries. This allows me to approach every challenge from both a strategic and technological perspective, ensuring growth and sustainable innovation
