I became a manager in 2000 and since then I have been a principal, CEO, Head of School, Business Area Manager responsible for compulsory school and preschool, and Head of Education Department. For most of my managerial career, I have been a manager of other managers. I have led mergers, decommissioned operations, and above all, I have been a developing manager, adding value to the organisations I have led.
Niclas is a loyal, clear leader who does not shy away from difficulties. He has great work capacity and an ability to build structures. Niclas sees many perspectives but also everything as a whole. He is a leader who leads from the helicopter.

Leading others is one of the greatest privileges you can have
Both as a manager and individual, I set high demands on myself. I have high expectations of my colleagues, but I want them to complete any assignment by themselves. I do not like micro-managing others, nor do I like being micro-managed myself.
I will ask questions; it is very important when it comes to leading other managers. I am good at working out your goals and demands in dialogue with you, and I expect you to strive towards being the best that you can be.

Managerial experience
Head of Education Department. As the Head of Education Department from 2018 to 2021, I led and organized an administration of approximately 400 employees, emphasizing a culture of unity. In the beginning, the municipality faced fines from the Swedish Schools Inspectorate across all educational levels. We moved the rank of the municipality from 204 (out of 299) to place 44.
Business Area Manager (2017-2018) – Responsible for overseeing ten schools and five preschools in Sweden. Key areas of focus included leading and developing school and preschool managers, creating opportunities for growth through establishing new educational institutions, and developing pedagogical concepts. Additionally, was a part of the management and concept groups at the group level.
CEO/Head of School : From 2003 to 2017, I served as the CEO/Head of School for a high school offering college preparatory and vocational programs, as well as specialized support for students with autism. Under my leadership, the school expanded from 200 to 600 students, with a focus on growing existing operations, offering managerial support, and exploring new business opportunities. The management team comprised three principals and myself as the CEO. Additionally, the school featured three elite sports programs and several focus sports.
