Cecilia Carlswärd
Cecilia knew early on in her career that she had an aptitude for leadership – becoming an CEO at a young age and being awarded top 30 “Female Leaders of the Future” in Sweden. But the thing that always appealed most to her about management was her ability to get people to gather round and work together to meet their goals. So, she decided to focus this skill on sustainability in business. As well as being an area that she knows will be crucial for all companies and businesses to pay attention to, for her it’s also something that delivers real meaning and lets her work with a cause that’s bigger than one person alone, helping to make a difference day in, day out.
As a co-founder of Violet Hill, Cecilia brings her invaluable experience and understanding of what makes companies succeed to the table, as well as her insight into the CEO mindset. And she’s helped shape the Violet Hill vision, as well as its mission to grow worldwide – where ultimately it can help to encode real sustainable thinking and actions into any company’s DNA.
