Peter Johansson is a Senior Executive Consultant at Birn+Partners with 35 years of business experience, including more than 25 years as CEO, Managing Director and senior executive in Nordic and international markets. He has steered companies through profitable growth, turnarounds and restructuring, and built strong organisations that deliver lasting results.

His background spans technology, SaaS, distribution, professional services and other B2B industries. He has held full P&L responsibility and worked across strategic business development, sales leadership and organisational transformation, often in difficult market conditions. Throughout his career, he has focused on turning strategic ambitions into measurable results by combining commercial strength, operational efficiency and clear leadership.

At Birn+Partners, Peter works with executive search, leadership advisory and business transformation. Because he has been a CEO himself, he understands what the role really involves beyond the job description, and what it takes to succeed in it. He advises organisations, boards and owners on critical leadership decisions, and helps them find and attract executives who can accelerate growth, lead change and create long-term value.

Peter combines strategic insight and strong commercial understanding with a solid knowledge of Nordic business culture, where trust, openness and short decision paths matter. This makes him a trusted sparring partner at board and C-level. Peter believes that strong business performance starts with strong leadership. The right leaders do more than manage. They build trust, involve their people, challenge established thinking and turn opportunities into results.
