As CEO of Investor’s subsidiary Novare Academy, he was responsible for building a business that supports networks and development for leaders in the sphere.

Johan is very interested in sales work, which has been a recurring theme during his working life. The great interest in people combined with the interest in sales has several times during his career brought him into projects and activities intended for development work in general and individual development in particular.

In these projects, which have often been in the vicinity of the academy, including during the years at the Stockholm School of Economics Executive Education, Johan has combined his interest in business with his interest in learning and change. The large network that has been built up is an essential tool in the current assignment as a partner at Lindström & Göthberg.

His drive as a leader is based on seeing other people succeed in their challenges and grow with the task. Peter has a degree from the Gothenburg School of Economics, which he has supplemented with a financial analyst education and a number of different management educations, including Investor’s program for senior leaders in the Wallenberg sphere.

Peter has a great and genuine interest in foundations and philanthropy. This is expressed, among other things, through involvement in a dozen boards for foundations and associations that work with non-profit purposes. Over the years, he has built up a very extensive network based on the Swedish west coast.

He likes to spend his free time with his family and close to the sea, on Bohuslän’s salty cliffs, on the tennis court or downhill skiing in alpine terrain.
