Peter Hellgren Praised in International Magazine
In the international business magazine Industry Tech Outlook, Peter Hellgren was ranked as one of the top ten CEOs in IT and Tech globally in 2024 – a confirmation of his leadership success and the global impact of his company. In the feature, Consid's CEO shares the company's recipe for success, reflects on what it means to lead a large corporation, and outlines his vision for the future.
“The groundbreaking leader has successfully steered Consid’s team toward increased productivity through several key strategies,” the magazine writes.
Since the company’s founding in a garage in Vetlanda, Småland, in 2000, it has grown from a small startup to one of Northern Europe’s leading IT consulting firms, with thousands of employees and offices in multiple countries. However, this success has not come easily.
– Success is fleeting. It’s something you might have had in the past, might have today, and may achieve again in the future. In other words, success can never be taken for granted; it’s something that must be earned. Success can take many different forms. I can’t pinpoint an exact moment when success began because I see the entire journey of the company as a series of milestones, both small and large, says Peter Hellgren to the magazine.
Consid has successfully established itself as an innovative player in digital transformation, and its expansion reflects a combination of entrepreneurial spirit, strategic leadership, and a strong corporate culture that continues to drive growth both nationally and internationally.
– I also see it as a success every time we try something new, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, because it shows that we are willing to continue evolving and adapting. Success isn’t always just a number on paper or measurable revenue; it can be much more than that.
Two key factors behind the company’s success are leadership and corporate culture, according to Peter Hellgren. By building relationships and creating a strong culture with high engagement, a company can thrive. Peter Hellgren emphasizes the importance of leadership and corporate culture:
– There’s a verse often quoted by the Swedish artist Lasse Åberg that I think has much to teach us: ‘I dare not ask for an improved memory, but I pray for growing humility and less certainty when my memory does not align with others. Teach me the brilliant lesson that I am sometimes wrong.’ Humility and the willingness to listen and believe in others are absolutely how I want to be perceived, and I also believe these qualities foster success.
Under Peter Hellgren’s leadership, Consid continues to strive for new partnerships, innovations, and growth. The company is exploring collaborations with educational institutions to support the next generation of IT professionals, while developing sustainable technology solutions to help address environmental issues. Through these efforts, Consid hopes to make a positive impact both within the tech sector and on the environment.
– These efforts align with our core mission to make a positive impact on society. By maintaining the principles of entrepreneurship and personal responsibility within our team, we are confident that Consid will achieve its vision of being a beloved and trusted partner in the IT sector, both locally and internationally, Peter Hellgren concludes in the feature.
