Senior🎓
Top SchoolMikael Svensson is a seasoned Data & AI leader with 11+ years of experience driving enterprise analytics, AI/ML platforms and cloud migrations across retail and telecom. As Technical Product Area Manager at Axfood he leads platform strategy and AI solution delivery, having previously built and scaled a 40-person Data & Analytics organization that moved from on-premises to a modern cloud and GAI-enabled architecture. He combines deep finance and control roots (former CPA, CFO and controller) with hands-on product and program leadership, enabling a rare business-first perspective on data initiatives. Mikael has a track record of cultural transformation—shifting teams to Agile, fostering experimentation through hackathons, and establishing AI/ML capability centers that gained external market attention. Equally comfortable negotiating supplier landscapes and defining long-term data visions, he focuses on measurable value, sustainability practices, and clear delivery processes. Based in Karlskrona, he pairs structured stewardship with a genuine curiosity for developing people and pragmatic innovation.
