Background

About Leif Eriksson

I am an experienced Finance Leader and Business Controller with a long and broad background from Volvo Cars, Volvo Group, and PMC Hydraulics Group. Throughout my career, I have combined strong financial expertise with deep knowledge of R&D, program finance, and business operations, supporting executive teams in steering large organizations towards profitable growth. I have managed multimillion-euro budgets, delivered major cost savings worth hundreds of millions, improved forecast accuracy by 20%, reduced reporting time by 30%, and introduced new reporting structures that increased transparency and enabled better decision-making. My expertise covers financial controlling, project and program steering, and cross-functional leadership. Always with a focus on delivering value in time, quality, and cost. I am recognized for my results-driven mindset and ability to build trust with senior stakeholders, making me a valuable partner for CEOs, CFOs, and leadership teams. Currently, I serve as Group Business Controller at PMC Hydraulics Group, where I support the CEO and CFO in driving financial performance across nine companies, achieving significant savings, streamlining operations, and supporting strategic investment decisions. In addition to my technical and financial expertise, I bring the stability, perspective, and proven track record that only extensive experience can provide. I combine this with a modern, forward-looking mindset that not only matches but elevates and complements the skills of younger professionals. This unique mix enables me to create real value in organizations undergoing change or growth.
