Meet Young Professionals Committee Member Alexander Ljungström

Position and company

Managing Director Einar & Partners

Nationality

Swedish
Hobbies Cooking is probably my biggest passion and therapy in life! I’m also a walker, I love taking walks no-matter the weather and mood. It lifts the spirit! What would you like to achieve with YP? As a founder of a company, I would like to develop a supporting network for other entrepreneurs in YP. Getting to know the bureaucracy in The Netherlands is not an easy thing and taking the step of starting your own is a bold move. As a YP committee member, I’d like to share my direct experiences and knowledge in this field. Additionally, I’d like to work on the content strategy of YP to attract talented and driven individuals. The Netherlands and Sweden has a long-standing history of trade, and it starts with the younger generation. Being visible in the right places is key. Why should you join the YP? YP is a great place to create both professional and personal relations that makes a difference. Everyone in YP is in one way or another related to Sweden and happen to live or be involved in The Netherlands. It’s a niche, which makes it more important to find like-minded people in that niche. And the fun events and smiles, of course! Why YP? Network & fun. I think everybody in YP has an inner curiosity about the world, cultures & career. Combining that with upholding Swedish traditions and organizing events is fantastic.
