Gustaf is a M.Sc. in Economics and Business Administration graduate with a Management major from the Stockholm School of Economics. He has always enjoyed organizing and managing people, events and the combination of those two. He has a keen interest in international business, having done an exchange semester at the MBA program of the Asian Institute of Management in the Philippines and combining his work at the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce with writing his master´s thesis on Effective Organizational Cultures in Subsidiaries of Swedish firms in the U.S.
-- It is a great honor to be awarded 18 months at the Chamber where I can extend my knowledge of management and event creation. Being the first scholar at the Membership and Events department makes it even more special. The Young Professionals program that I am fortunate enough to run for the Chamber is also a great way to expand not just mine, but also the network of other young Swedes and Americans in the New York area.
