About Fredrik Grönlund

Professional Summary:I am a dynamic leader and team player driven by the success of my team and our collective achievements. I thrive on change and innovation, believing that change often brings positive opportunities. With a career spanning 20 years in various global management positions at IKEA and HelloFresh, I have honed my leadership skills with a strong focus on delivering results, fostering collaboration, and maintaining a customer-centric approach. My expertise lies in leading large-scale transformations in complex organizations.My extensive experience includes stakeholder management and change management, ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned and committed to the changes we implement. At IKEA, I served as Global Category Manager for Transportation and played a pivotal role in developing and implementing new e-commerce solutions within supply chain and IT, as well as serving as an Innovation Manager. I have led global teams through change management processes and driven business improvements by implementing customer-focused, smart solutions.In August 2019, I launched my own consulting company. One of my first projects was to establish and lead the vertical farming initiative at IKEA, aimed at producing self-grown lettuce for all IKEA stores. Following that success, I became the Stream Manager for the IKEA Food project “Product Range Management,” where we developed and implemented a global range and forecast process for the entire food business.Since January 2022, I have been serving as Nordic Logistics Director at Logent AB for HelloFresh. This role presents a great challenge, overseeing operations with more than 1,000 co-workers in Sweden and 350 in Norway, working seven days a week in two shifts to produce HelloFresh’s food boxes. I have successfully transformed the site operation from inefficiency to a cohesive and efficient operation.
