Hosted by SWEA Professional, Nordic Innovation House & Silicon Vikings

How do Nordic leadership values translate in American workplaces — and where do they fall short?

Join us for a dynamic lunchtime panel with four Nordic leaders and entrepreneurs who’ve built careers in the U.S. while staying true to their values. The panel:

Eva Helén - Cofounder and CCO at BRAVE Industries

Tove Andersson - Founder of Bitchcoin

Catrine Modig - Leadership and Team Development Coach

Margaretha Levander - Journalist and Founder of Silicon Valley Nordic Beat

We'll explore:

– What works (and doesn’t) when applying Nordic leadership in the U.S.

– Balancing consensus with speed in fast-moving teams

– Communication habits we’ve had to rethink or unlearn

– Building confidence and adaptability without losing authenticity

– How to ensure Nordic strengths are recognized, not misread

This is a conversation about growth, cultural nuance, and leadership in motion — designed for women professionals navigating American work culture.

🗓 Date: Thursday, June 5

🕛 Time: 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM
