I place senior technical and commercial leaders into deep-tech companies in Sweden moving from R&D to commercial scale. The hires who get the product shipped, win the first customers, and earn the next round. One ecosystem: Sweden’s hardware-led deep-tech, alongside the founders building it and the investors backing it.
The gap
Most deep-tech teams are strong on the science and thin on the bridge to market.
The science works in the lab. Getting it to commercial scale needs a different kind of hire.
Engineers who’ve shipped real products under physical constraints. Commercial leaders who’ve sold long industrial cycles, where ROI lands two years out and procurement runs through regulation and the limits of physics.
Those people are the difference between a product that demos well and one that reaches the market. I find them.
How I work
Only people who've shipped.
Every shortlist is made up of operators who’ve already done the job before, at companies that got real products out the door. No names added just to pad a list.
Found through the network.
The people you want aren’t usually job hunting. They’re senior, settled, and reachable through a direct approach and the network I’ve built in Swedish hardware deep-tech since 2019.
The hire, de-risked.
A senior mis-hire at this stage costs you months and investor goodwill, so I run the whole search and judge technical and commercial fit before anyone reaches you. Retained clients also get a market intelligence report to make the hire on real data: competitor analysis, salary and equity benchmarking, and talent maps across Europe.

One market
I work Sweden, and one kind of company: hardware-led deep-tech from seed to early Series B.
The narrow focus is why the calls are warm and the shortlists come back in days.
Who this is for
Founders, CTOs and CEOs at Sweden-based, hardware-led deep-tech companies, seed-funded through early Series B, hiring at system level and above.
If that’s you, and you’ve got a senior hire that matters, book a call.
