Conny’s biggest achievements
- Eight years in San Francisco. This is where he laid the foundations for his intrapreneurship and understanding of how people, technology, business, and society must interact to create positive change. His two children, who are his greatest pride, were also born there.
- Eleven years at CGI, where he has continuously been given new roles and challenges. He has helped organisations across all sectors, public and private, large and small, to understand what new technologies can do for them.
- Involved in shaping AI Sweden, where he leads the AI Transformation area with the mission to create a better Sweden for all, by maximising the value of applied AI in society and in all Swedish organisations.
Conny’s beliefs
- New technology enables a better future, but it remains an unrealised potential until someone puts it to use.
- People initiate change — not new technology.
- Creating a better future requires hard work, knowledge, courage, curiosity, and a strong vision. A vision starts with dream; anyone can dream, but not everyone is as good at explaining the direction.

About Conny
Conny is the one you want to talk to when it comes to AI. He clarifies, demystifies, and explains the benefits in a way that arouses interest and quickly brings you up to speed. His focus is on creating value for people and organisations, and building a better society.
75% of companies and organisations have not yet started engaging in AI. Small efforts are made, but few realise the importance of taking a comprehensive approach and adopting AI at the highest level in the organisation.
As AI will be associated with so many things in the future, this will take courage and a change of mindset. At its core, it is about building teams by combining digital technologies and people.
Conny often talks about AI as an additional staff member. The most common image of AI is that of “a robot” with the myth that AI will replace much of the workforce. This is a message that is frequently published by the media.
As for the concept of AI, it is a technology shift that has proven unusually difficult to understand — maybe because there is concern over its implications and a knowledge gap among many leaders. What is clear is that everyone in a leadership position needs to have a basic understanding of AI. This issue cannot be delegated.
Conny has had an exciting career at CGI, one of the world’s largest IT and business services companies, where he has held leadership roles in areas such as digital transformation and AI transformation. He has also co-founded AI Sweden, a government initiative tasked to accelerate the use of AI to the benefit of Sweden as a country, the competitiveness of Swedish companies, and everyone who lives in Sweden.
The initiative is funded by the government, Vinnova (the Swedish Innovation agency), and other major industry partners. Conny is currently on full-time secondment to AI Sweden.
Conny has a highly appreciated ability to meet others on their level. He has always been interested in new technologies, but he tries to look beyond the technology hype, preferring to focus on the human perspective.
How can we change behaviours, solve moral and ethical issues, and introduce AI into a business context? He likes to visualise and use metaphors to help understanding. He is easy to work with, unpretentious, easy-going, and demystifying. All questions are welcome, and he shares his experience generously.
In his private life, he enjoys racing RC cars and practices karate as a form of meditation.
