The Nordics stand at a defining crossroads. 

Geopolitical instability, energy security concerns, AI driven disruption and intensifying global competition continue to threaten the status quo.

The real question is not whether change is coming - that much is certain - it's how Nordic leaders will shape it. At the forefront of this transformation is a CEO we’ve featured already on Pivot points, ATEA’s Steinar Sønsteby.

He joins Brandpie’s CEO of the EMEA region, Will Bosanko, for a special takeover episode of the show, recorded live in the heart of Oslo, Norway.

You will learn:

• How the Nordics turned small populations and harsh geography into a strategic advantage in energy, technology and healthcare
• Why trust given upfront is a core operating system for Nordic organisations
• How Atea’s CEO thinks about delegation, culture and mistakes to build a 9,000-person, high-performing organisation
• Practical ways to lead through geopolitical instability
• Why AI is pivotal for regions and sectors facing labour shortages
• How to think about brand and reputation as an outcome of internal culture and employees’ actions

🔑 Key Themes

• Trust as a strategic advantage
• The Nordics at a geopolitical and economic crossroads
• Culture, decentralisation and leadership
• AI as the answer to “too few people, too much to do”
