About Mikael Ericsson

I have an extensive 12+ year background in product management, partner management and leadership for Spotify, one of the most beloved consumer brands in the world. I’ve played a part in the company’s journey from 200 people to 10000 people, from 6M users to 600M users and from 4 consumer electronics partners with Spotify integrated to well north of 2000 partners. I helped bring consumer experiences that hundreds of millions of users love and engage with every month to the market.I’ve been responsible for the articulation, communication and execution of Spotify’s ubiquity vision and strategy; to make Spotify available across relevant touchpoints and partnerships to help drive consumer engagement and growth. I've also been responsible for building the team delivering towards that vision from scratch. I have a strong focus on delivery of outcome, and a proven track record of infusing that delivery focus into the culture of the organizations I lead.
