How long have you worked at Axelent?
I’ve been with Axelent for about two and a half years.

What motivates you personally as a leader?
My passion lies in people and change.
I’m motivated by inspiring and encouraging others to take a chance, to be brave, take ownership, and believe in their ability to succeed.

As a leader, I want to create an environment built on trust, freedom, and responsibility, where everyone can drive progress and collaborate as both individuals and as a team.
Growth happens when people are supported and inspired to take initiative and share knowledge openly.
Seeing someone take that step, try something new, and make it work is what truly drives me.

What’s the difference between working in Sweden compared to the Japan?
Besides the obvious differences such as language and the three alphabets' Kanji, Katakana, and Hiragana, there are also deep cultural contrasts.
Attention to detail in Japan often means decisions take longer; for me, patience is still a work in progress.
There are similarities, but also clear differences. The key is to stay open-minded the way of thinking may be similar, but the approach and timing can differ.

In Japan, work culture centres around harmony 和 (Wa) and collective progress, while in Sweden it focuses more on balance between work, life, and independence.
Both perspectives have great strengths, and these differences also serve as an opportunity, combining the best of both cultures helps us build on the growth we’ve started and move forward stronger together.

One big difference is the loyalty and dedication to work; the challenge is to remind people to rest.
Introducing fika has been a great cultural exchange.

What’s the best part of working at Axelent?
The strong foundation built by the management team in Sweden gives us global advantages and solid support to build on.
Combined with close collaboration and shared goals, the “One Axelent” spirit makes it possible for everyone to grow, contribute, and succeed together.
