What advice would you give to a person considering a career in the auto industry? In my opinion, this is one of the most interesting industries right now. Megatrends such as the move toward electrification, autonomous driving and shared mobility are bringing change to an industry that has been somewhat protected for decades. This brings exciting opportunities and a lot of possibilities to truly make a difference. So, sharpen your pitch and think of how you would like to make a difference. What job do you really want to have in the future? A job that consistently allows me to use my strengths, which include motivating people, challenging the status quo and spearheading change across the wider organization. What do you do to relax? Driving my grandfather's old BMW 325iX E30 along the west coast of Sweden. What is your pet peeve? Long meetings. What was your first car? A Mazda MX-3 with a V-6 engine. It turned out to be the smallest V-6 engine ever produced. Current car? Any car within the M service that is suitable for the task. If you were a car, which one would you be? Lightning McQueen from the animated Pixar film "Cars," which also happens to be my daughter's favorite car. 2019 35
