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.
We are now pleased to introduce our Knowledge Partner in HR, Carina Malmgren Heander, who will be a strong support to us when recruiting HR executives, ensuring that we have the right understanding of the challenges defining this function today.
Carina recently left her operational career and now dedicates her time to board assignments, including serving as Chair of the Swedish HR Association and as a board member of the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise and PE Teknik & Arkitektur. Her last leadership role was at SAS, where she served as Chief of Staff and was part of the executive management team during the eventful years of 2015–2024. Before that, she was CHRO at ABB Sweden, Electrolux Group, and Sandvik Group, making her a prominent figure in Sweden’s HR sector for many years. Throughout her career, Carina has also held senior business leadership roles at Electrolux and Adtranz (now Alstom). We are proud and delighted to have Carina engaged with Headlight International and look forward to our collaboration.
