Ep 39: From Idea to Impact: Leading Innovation with Confidence & Creativity, with Sofie Lindblom

Episode show notes:

I’m so excited for this third season, kickstarting by talking to the innovation leader, entrepreneur, board professional, TED-X speaker, and creator Sofie Lindblom.

Sofie and I first met at Spotify in 2013, where she quickly advanced to lead the global innovation team.

Over the past decade, she has continued to lead innovation initiatives across many roles and organizations such as H&M, Kronans Apotek, and Electrolux.

As an entrepreneur, she is the founder and former CEO of ideation360, a digital platform designed to streamline the collection and management of ideas.

In 2020, she launched her second venture, SPCE, to create the world's first digital salesroom to digitize the customer relationship between organizations and reduce their carbon footprint. Currently, Sofie is the Chief Product Officer at SPCE, leading the product and development teams.

She has been named one of the 100 most influential women in business, one of Sweden's 100 future female leaders, and one of the 50 most inspiring women in the European technology industry.

In this conversation, we talk about the need for more women in tech, how to get into boards rooms, creativity, stress, and the negative correlation between innovation and back-to-back meetings.

We also dive into doing things she is scared of and how she works with mindset and confidence on stage.

On top of that, we explore the definition of success and the challenges of being a founder.

And of course, my favourite topic, Sustainable High Performance.

She’s a woman of many hats, to say the least, and this episode is packed.

I hope you will enjoy listening!
