Background

About Johan Eriksson

I am a leader and advisor passionate about growing people and society in a sustainable way. Throughout my life I have always been working in both large organizations such as Google, ABB and Procter & Gamble as well as with startups in parallell. I've also continuously engaged in the civil society, whether it's through coding camps for children, or mental health initiatives for youth. Today I lead Insights & Analytics at Google, with the mission to help people make better decisions. To improve society we need to work against polarization and for a common understanding of different perspectives. Most problems we need to solve don’t have an easy solution, so we need to embrace complexity. I believe that one of the biggest challenges with society today is the lack of places for deep, data-driven and caring conversations where people can truly understand each other and solve problems together. As the world is always changing, I am committed to lifelong learning and innovation as the only long-term sustainable strategy, and I believe that the compass for individuals and organizations need to be very clear values.
