Mats were my manager in Saudi 5 years before, and during my 14 years of Ericsson period, I never worked such a great manager who really supports and guide the employees with high professionalism & keep the core value. Mats are the best manager who is having high leadership skills and know what to do and how to do. Especially motivate the resources, use the resources in the correct place based on there talent and capability. Support them when they needed either official work or problems. The person who you can talk about your personal matter and get valuable advice, the no drought rather than Mats. Mats is not like a manager and he is like you best friend when you work with him. He always follow the co-operate process and he is one of the process orient person that he need to keep the company policy, core value and always thing about the benefit of the company first. Apart from this as a person he is a good father as he keep is person life separate and tale care his family even though with his busy schedule. I strongly recommend Mats whoever trying to looking for a manager to run the organization such as Financial Control, SSC or any Service providing organization. I wish him good luck and waiting for another opportunity to work with him to learn more about the leadership & management skills from Mats

Mats managed the global implementation of Ericsson’s invoice scanning and workflow solution for local companies and market units. He performed the task involved with determination and stamina and managed to deliver according to our customers’ expectations and demands. Needless to say, the results increased administrative efficiency while decreasing the total cost for our local companies and Market Units.
Ali Sadek
Mats is a very experienced guy within Finance both from his career within Ericsson or earlier within SAAB. He also possesses the international aspect as he has been working as an expat for Ericsson in Saudi Arabia. As person Mats is very straight forward with no room for “bullshit” but keeping a very professional attitude about his work relations. I would definitely recommend Mats as a big asset for any organization.

Another very positive thing is that he wants people to develop, both personally and professionally. He also is very dedicated to building a strong team that has a high-performance capacity.
Sanna Hill
Mats were my manager for about two years at Contact Center Stockholm. It was really challenging to be a part of Mats’ team, in a good way! He really focuses on the individual and the team. This means that you need to work with yourself a lot, work with giving and receiving feedback (positive/“negative”), how you express yourself, your feelings, from your point of view, no matter what anybody else thinks. No one can say what you feel is wrong. :-)
I have received feedback from people saying they think I have been more confident, more tolerant (listen to people and have time for them) etc. This is very nice to hear and I think it was thanks to Mats and now when I don’t work together with him anymore I need to continue this work on my own because I want to keep developing the skills I have. Thank you, Mats and good luck in the future, I’m sure we’ll meet again!
Jesper Pedersen
During the work to make a global network of internal Contact Centers, Mats was a key person. As manager of the “template” Contact Center, he was developing all the best practices both in processes, tools, and organizational set-up. And all that with a remarkable people oriented management style. Personally, I knew Mats as a social and always passionate personality – very energizing and inspirational to be around. With a diverse set of experiences, I believe Mats is a person to engage in anything that takes this “extra passion” to get done.
Kristi Ekelöw
I would like to thank you for our contact. I appreciate our conversation when you told me about your job and your view of leadership. It actually gave me a boost and a direction!

Thank you very much, Mats!
Steve Hehanussa
Mats are the kind of leader who is giving his employees the opportunity to grow in their roles and responsibilities for them to be the right person in the right place. With his tremendous amount of experience in leading and coaching people, he secures that goals are met, recognizes the successes and provides feedback with the sole purpose to learn and improve, realizing that their internal motivation is increasing. In the period that I reported to him, I got to know him as an open, honest and direct person. A person to whom you at any time could reflect your ideas and visions with. In times where our surroundings are demanding for each individual, leaders like Mats are needed to keep a team motivated, focussed and empowered. It has been really a pleasure to work with Mats. I would recommend him at any time and if I am given the opportunity to work with him again, I would do that without any doubt
Lola Vukicevic Rytkönen
During the 12 years that I have known Mats, I have seen him in various roles: manager, colleague, partner and supplier/consultant to my own company “Live Systems Sweden AB”. Mats have been extremely professional and equally proficient in all of these roles. Mats is an inspirational leader, who spread positive spirit, is able to get the group goes to the same goals, to empower staff and get them to burn for their duties. As a colleague, Mats shared unselfishly his knowledge, supported his colleagues in their projects and contributed to “we-feeling” was strengthened in the group. In our relationship customer-supplier/consultant (to my own company “Live Systems Sweden AB”) performed Mats assignments in a professional manner, delivered with exceptional quality within the agreed time. The presentation that he created for our company and presented to more than three hundred customers became a real success! He demonstrates exceptional communication skills and is a talented orator. Mats create more value in every project he works with, easy to solve problems, apply analytical thinking. He has

Mats put energy to build up our team and let us think, change and act by our self or within the team. He “plants a seed” in our minds and allows us to work with the idea in an individual pace.
In the start you get the feeling that nothing happened but after I while you understand that ideas/changes/problems are something you as a team member can handle by your self or within the team. Mats are in the background and support/coach you when needed.

Roger Silvermane
Mats were my manager for 1 year at Ericsson. During this time, I got to know Mats as a manager that was very supportive, he made sure that his team always had what was needed to get their work done on time with the right quality and cost. But more than being just a good manager, I found Mats to be that rare type of person that focuses on what is best for the overall business and the company even if it meant sacrificing his own goals. Integrity is probably the best word I would use to describe him as he wasn’t afraid to say what needed to be said and do what needed to be done. It was extremely refreshing to work with a manager who also didn’t mind going against “big company politics” in order for the overall business to succeed. I would highly recommend Mats as an asset to any business and would be glad to work along side him again. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Mats.

Mats and I worked for 2 years together. When I started as Manager Contact Center at Ericsson Netherland, I regularly visited his Contact Center in Sweden. I directly noticed his leadership skills. He had a clear view of the future developments on the Contact Center Concept and he translated that to clear strategic objectives to the global management of Ericsson.
