Viktor Karlsson

Fenix took over an administrative HR department and quickly started shifting its focus to becoming a business partner with Telavox’s strategic challenges in mind. Today, we’re attracting more talent, employees stay longer, and our managers perceive that individual performance has increased. We’re now starting to get ahead of our peers in terms of HR structures and leadership practices.

Fenix is a great sparring partner that I would use any day to drive change and development in my organisation.

Anders Mellberg
Director of Communication, City of Malmoe

Fenix has been a coach for the employees in my management team for just under a year. Fenix listens deeply to what is being said and asks questions that open and deepen the conversation. He helps the participant gain insight into decision-making and problem-solving but provides clear advice when requested. As a client, I found Fenix to be confident and reliable.

Fenix is a strategic thinker with strong business acumen, always keen to support us in finding solutions. We have explored and built up together what the future of work could look like in France. He is very professional, an open-minded and inclusive leader, an optimistic person, capable of leading in the unknown, a true co-creator. I would be happy to work with him again.

Mads Boelt
HR Development Leader, Postnord

Fenix and I co-created an action-learning program Postnord’s specialist talents. Fenix was a great sparring partner during the design of the program and did an excellent job facilitating the parts he was responsible for. He has a good balance, focusing on the participants’ progress and challenging them where they are. I am very satisfied with Fenix’s contribution to the Postnord Professional Programs

Martin Börjesson
VP IT & technology, Vestas Wind Systems

I met Fenix during my participation in the VP Transition Programme, one of the best programmes I have attended, if not the best. On top of this, I have ordered all my Directors to take their transition programme, as an effect of how good the programme Fenix managed is. High energy and a great attitude is how I would summarize Fenix.

Fenix acted as roll-out manager for training in our Central European Business Unit.

Fenix showed that he could navigate in a very turbulent environment where multiple stakeholders were in play.

Peter Bruggemann
Sales Development Director, ST-Group

Fenix is amongst the most sincere people I’ve ever met—authentic, smart, and really straightforward in a wonderfully assertive way, thinking in “big terms” and still being able to manage details. His impact on me personally, with the coaching session, was an absolute “second-to-none” experience. Fenix has my very best recommendations.

Ursula Gottwald

For a period of 10 months, Fenix has had the role of my coach.. We managed to increase motivation, knowledge sharing and create clarity on roles and responsibilities. It has been a very interesting learning experience for me, and Fenix has managed to challenge me to take perspective on things in a way I had not thought of before.

Cecilia Westman

During a year Fenix helped me with the cultural integration during an acquisition and a boost of the leadership in the entire acquired company. To succeed, Fenix and I worked closely with the management team. Fenix was quickly up to speed and soon understood our challenges. He clearly uses questions to help, yet he still provides clear suggestions if appropriate.

David C. Myers

Fenix entered the company and hit the ground running and full speed ahead. He engaged with me in my HR role and various members of our leadership team by setting the scope and understanding what results the business was expecting from him.

Johan Rebensdorff
Technical Program Manager, Telavox

Fenix started working with Telavox at a point where I viewed the tasks he was facing as nearly impossible. We needed a new structure in HR and people development as the company was transitioning from a small business to a significant player in our field. Additionally, the staff was predominantly male, which needed to change to create the attractive workplace we intended. I got more involved when I enrolled in the leadership program. Fenix taught me well. Thanks for setting this up!
