Thomas Ahrens is a well-known figure in Swedish business — a “guru” of high-growth companies. With over 30 years of experience working with more than 100 of Sweden’s fastest-growing companies, he knows exactly what it takes.

Today he has sold his consulting and training business and runs Ahrens Invest: training boards and management teams in the art of growing fast, and investing in high-growth scaleups. He draws inspiration to develop the growth concept and write books from his networks of CEOs and investors. His current focus is what he is most passionate about — helping Swedish startups become scaleups, passing 50 employees and beyond. A meaningful contribution after 30 years of hunting Swedish innovation companies and starting his own.
