Our Perspectives
Alumni Global's perspectives on leadership, succession and board governance
Alumni Global works with executive search, board services and leadership assessment and development. Here we gather our articles and perspectives on leadership, drawing on what we learn from the boards, CEOs and leadership teams we work with, and from our events such as the Alumni Executive Summit. The topics range across leadership in change, succession, board governance, AI leadership and how organisations develop their leaders, written by our consultants for those who lead, recruit or serve on a board.

Moderated by Alumni Global CEO Magnus Tegborg, the panel featured Anna Borg, President and CEO of Vattenfall; Mikael Bratt, President and CEO of Autoliv; Malou Aamund, board chair and technology leader; and Björn Rosengren, former CEO of ABB and one of Sweden's most respected industrial leaders.
While their industries differ significantly, a common message emerged: uncertainty is no longer an occasional challenge; it has become the leadership context.
