Interim Chief Marketing Officer

After advancing from district manager to product manager, Gustaf was further promoted to marketing manager for a subsidiary of a major Swedish conglomerate, with responsibility for 10 people. He was recruited from outside the company to join another major Swedish corporation as export manager, responsible for Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia. His responsibilities grew, and the role evolved into that of marketing director, overseeing the group’s marketing, web, PR, and media operations, with personnel responsibility for 35 employees. During his tenure, the company underwent extensive changes to its brand and positioning, which placed significant demands on the marketing function. Today, the company is considered a global leader in its industry and has a stronger market position than ever before, largely thanks to Gustaf’s work. He has now chosen to work on an interim basis and is seeking his first assignment.

The most logical scenario is for a large multinational corporation to hire Gustaf. He himself feels that he has no career-related reservations and is happy to help smaller companies with crisis management, developing marketing plans, or securing media coverage. Imagine the marketing message you’d send by having Gustaf represent your company! He’s also open to part-time or consulting roles.
