Grow diverse high performing teams and increase company value through
People Equity
People Equity comprises three factors required to optimise people performance and long term success:
Executive Search
Leadership Assessment
Leadership Coaching
Executive Search
We connect top-tier companies with exceptional C-suite and senior management talent through a rigorous and personalized search process that goes beyond just experience.
Our approach evaluates not only the proven achievements and expertise of candidates but also their potential to lead the business of tomorrow. We focus on identifying leaders who possess the vision, adaptability, and strategic mindset necessary to drive long-term growth and navigate an ever-changing business landscape.
Leadership Assessment
We work with companies to identify leadership potential and help answer a key question: is this person ready for the next step?
The approach looks beyond past performance to understand how someone leads—how they set direction, drive results, build structure, and connect with others. Through tailored exercises and clear, honest feedback, we help teams make confident decisions about their future leaders.
Leadership Coaching
We coach current and emerging leaders to grow into the roles their organizations need—whether that means stepping up, shifting gears, or finding their voice.
The coaching is practical, direct, and grounded in real business challenges. We help you find the answers to whatever leadership challenge you’re facing—by asking the right questions, bringing an outside perspective, and building on your strengths. Together, we work on developing clarity, confidence, and the skills to lead with impact

About the idea…
People Equity was founded in Stockholm in 2020 with a vision to reinforce societal equality through the companies shaping the future. Startups and scaleups are tomorrow’s large corporations—and they have a unique opportunity to build inclusive, high-performing cultures that drive both impact and value.
My work sits at the intersection of leadership, people strategy, and performance. I support organizations by assessing leadership potential, coaching current and emerging leaders, and helping build People Operations functions that scale. With experience in C-level advisory, executive search, and hands-on talent leadership in private equity-backed environments, I’ve seen how the right people decisions can fuel growth—and how the wrong ones can stall it.
At the core of People Equity is a belief that real change starts with awareness, structured processes, and honest conversations about leadership and culture. Whether you're hiring, promoting, building teams, or navigating change, I help you make decisions that move both your people and your business forward.
