Alexander Lukas Hederby

Talent Agent

alexander@trib.se — +46708156380

Alexander Lukas, the Swedish name of Donald Ducks lucky cousin, a name given to bring luck to his life.

A former Digital/Interactive Art Director/Creative that have worked around the world, from Sydney to London and latest in Stockholm. At Hyper Island, Alexander became interested in people and group dynamics and therefore found his way to TRIB so that he could work with people and helping others realizing their dreams.

After senior high-school, Alexander went to study Art direction and Graphic Design at Forsbergs school and after that moved on to the Interactive Art Director program at Hyper Island. That led him to work at a couple of ad agencies and battled glitter on the dancefloors of Sydney, Australia.

In his spear time he has "a few" hobbies, such as horseriding and showjumping, simulator racing, baking, drawing, building things, beer with friends and a bad vice to always trying to find new hobbies to do, or at least buy all the equipment for.

So now you know what to talk about to break the ice with Alex, even though a simple "Hello" will do just as well!

Camilla Wänström

COO & Founder

camilla@trib.se — +46708116332

Known as ”big mama” at the office. A people person who always trusts her gut feeling.

Born and raised in Stockholm with one toe in Österlen. After graduating from the University of Stockholm she started her career in marketing, before she slipped into the talent business and fell in love in the profession as well as with her husband.

With her new found love she started the talent agency TRIB, with a clear focus, to help people grow. Today as Finance Director, she is the glue, holding the family and business together. An operationally driven realist, with a trained eye for details and how they affect the bigger picture.

Today a mother of two fantastic boys, who have shaped her to a lego ninja and an expert on drawing Pokémon figures. Her obsession with interior design and gardening comes from a strong belief that our surroundings affect our inner health. This is manifested through constantly recurring projects, both in and outside the house. Walls repainted, furniture redesigned or moved around. Camilla loves to spend her time in the garden, finding pure and true happiness, with her hands deep down in the dirt.

Prefers to spend her summers with family and friends in Skåne, Gotland or the beautiful Archipelago. Actually she prefers lazy days in the sun over winter activities, but is determined to change that by overcoming her fear of skiing downhill. One day.

Practices yoga and drinking green smoothies when she is in a healthy phase, eat lots of chocolate and drink red wine when not. But with a strong belief that both do wonders.

Caroline Haslum

Talent Agent & Operations Manager

caroline@trib.se — +46708161379

Caroline is a travel junkie, breakfast-loving peoples person. She ended up at TRIB after spending many years trying to do her part turning the world around at UNICEF and Friends.

Passionate about exploring the world, she spends all annual leaves either in her family´s little summer house or gazing at new places. She has been traveling all around the world, both for studies, work and pleasure and strongly believes that this without a doubt is the best life education you can possible get. You just mention a destination or planned trip and Caroline will jump right in to that conversation eager to either learn or share her best off the beaten tracks-tips.

With a background as a Project Manager in civil society organisations and a great interest in international development and sustainability you often find her trying to correct the world in one way or another.

Caroline has played football since being a kid, and (unfortunately and not really fair) has by far achieved getting most red cards in the team. Oups. Loves the word ”lagom” and quite often escapes reality through crappy netflix series, preferably with good looking people without issues. She is an incredible star when it comes to street parking and finds most joy hanging around friends and family. And of course at the TRIB office :).

Cecilia Granström

Community Manager

cecilia@trib.se — 0704146491

[Currently on parental leave]

An open-minded, creative and curious plant lover that cares about the world and others.

Cecilia is a person who’s curious about the world and the people in it, and she’s been studying it from different angles. From human rights, CSR, political science to fashion studies and a BA in marketing communication from Stockholm Business School.

Before she got swept away by TRIB, she worked at Sweden's biggest fashion house with E-commerce, digital sales and more specific customer relations for several years – but her love for people and helping others to grow lead the way to TRIB.

As much as she likes sharing a nice meal with friends in bustling megacities like Los Angeles and Tokyo, she needs mother nature and the forest in her life. Nothing compares to a good old bonfire in the wild or being in her small garden, hidden in the woods of Järfälla. One can definitely say that her heart always skips an extra beat for nature (she has been caught crying looking at a nice view or an amazing sunset).

Cecilia also loves design, music, art, books, magazines, good food and is an avid collector of strange art pieces or objects. She has a thing for the color yellow and if she gets to decide what to eat for dinner, her first thought is always – shrimps! She’s very passionate about travel research, loves mapping out the best routes and has a way to find those special hidden gems.

Elisabeth Lindholm

Talent Agent

elisabeth@trib.se — 0708686128

A matchmaker at heart. Whether it comes to people finding love, work or life balance. Always there to help, listen and cheer!

During classes in school, Elisabeth was more into talking than reading and liked her teachers more than the actual books. She ended up studying behavioural psychology at the university in Örebro. After working extra with events and brand activations at campus, Elisabeth moved back to her home town, Stockholm, to work as a Project Manager at a communication agency.

After a few years of creating campaigns, event planning, and action marketing, she has spent her last 5 years within telecom, with focus on brand management, market insights and a lot of digital campaigns. All with an interest in what drives people and make them truly engaged.

Elisabeth is a true wine and cheese romantic and she loves to road trip in Europe, discover wine yards, eating great food and find small roads to foreign places.

Elisabeth lives together with her partner in crime and fiancée Carl and bonus kids Alicia and Jacob on Kungsholmen. Always trying to win "balcony of the year" with as much tomato plants, fig trees and flowers as possible.

Hussein Al-Asadi

Talent Agent

hussein@trib.se — +46762012311

Hussein was born in Iraq and according to some documentaries he is a "Marsh Arab".

His first 5 years were spent in a Saudi refugee camp before ending up in Sweden and the beautiful island Gotland. Becoming a professional soccer player was one of his childhood dreams, instead, he acts as a stand-in player for different Korpen(Sunday league) teams. Hussein actually enjoys the freedom of choosing when to play.

Hussein left Gotland to study Agile project management in Stockholm, after graduation he somehow started to work with recruitment. Hussein is a people person so recruitment was the right path for him.

On his spare time, Hussein puts in way too many hours into analyzing things on youtube and forums, things like Game of Thrones and Lord of the rings. Hussein further likes the idea of hiking and living primitive out in the wild but ends up watching Planet earth or Survivor man instead. This may sound like Hussein doesn't enjoy being active himself but that's not the whole truth, he does enjoy sports like Soccer, Tennis, Badminton and skateboarding on his spare time.

Isa Sjösten

Talent Agent

isa@trib.se — +46 766515036

A hobby philosopher and former bartender who loves popcorn and backgammon and dislikes pancakes and injustice. Always looking for reasons, meaning and new sneakers.

Isa was born in the late ’80s as the oldest child of a big wacko family. She has been known as “fröken bråttom” ever since - and she refused to wait more than 7,5 months before meeting her parents for the first time. Eager as she was, she rushed through childhood like Speedy Gonzales. She got married to her friend Hugo at the age of four and landed her first job as a shoe vendor in her grandma's bedroom at the age of seven. Grandma wasn’t happy, and luckily she finally slowed down a bit.

After ten years as a travelling bartender, her granddad asked her to get a “real” job, so she took a bachelor and masters degree in Marketing and Media Management and started her career as a planner/strategist. After a couple of years at several advertising agencies, she realized she's more of a peoples person than a data person. That led her to the amazing Trib Family, where she feels more home than ever.

Today she’s safe and settled in the heart of Enskede, together with her sweet boyfriend Lars and all their plants. Isa is a BIG thinker. Sometimes people find her a little quiet, but that's because she’s too busy listening to all these weird thoughts spinning around up there.

When not working, Isa spends a lot of time with her family, preferably at their summer house in the archipelago. She’s also a huge fan of travelling, hanging out at her local little gym, as well as deep-talks accompanied with a bottle of any-coloured wine.

Karin Brandt

Talent Agent & Team Lead

karin@trib.se — +46708247722

A happy glamper who loves nature and romanticises the living on the countryside.

A yogi. A foodie. A project manager at heart, always planning the next event which might just as well be preparing a 90’s breakfast for her boyfriend as throwing a big party or mapping the perfect route for an upcoming trip.

Started her career in the non-profit sector but soon ended up in the digital corner where she has spent the last six years producing content and digital campaigns for various clients. Loves communication and campaigns that engage the target group rather than try to sell, sell, sell!

Her greatest inspiration is people living their life in an open-minded way, growing super sage thanks to that. Therefore she loves watching documentaries, reading autobiographies and spending time with wise individuals. Fortunately, she is surrounded by them.

Spending time with people is, by the way, one of her favourite things to do. And the possibility to combine that with her interest in enterprise and both her and other people’s personal development was the reason she joined TRIB.

Madalina Hagelin

Talent Agent

madalina@trib.se — +46 763299046

Born in Bucharest by a mother who took part in the overthrowing Ceausescu and with a father who was a top-notch wrestler, Madalina is no stranger to achieving goals, attending wild Romanian dinner party’s or bridging cultures.

By the age of three she swapped the suburbs of Bucharest to the snazzy island of Lidingö in Sweden. After growing up a little and spending some mandatory years of planless traveling, Madalina graduated from university with a bachelor in Media and Globalization. A degree that later steered her onto the digital path, managing creatives on different agencies in Stockholm. Before joining the TRIB family she served as production manager at the 3 Mobile in-house agency, only to find her more interested in the people, processes and group dynamics than the products.

When not at duty Madalina is trying to embrace her transformation from restless globalista to a more family oriented gardenista and enjoy framing her new surroundings - including two high-octane kids and husband - with her phone in square shaped slices of life.

Stop by her desk for digital assets and team-coaching skills extraordinaire. Or, if you dare, for the secret family recipe for Ciorba de burta – some good ol’ Eastern Europe cow belly soup.

Malin Gäfvert

Talent Agent

malin@trib.se — +46 733218493

Malin grew up in a creative home on Gotland. The creativity and the love of salty oceans has never left her side.

Malin graduated Hyper Island early 2000 and has been working as an Art Director and Graphic Designer since then. The dedication of group dynamics, people and team building, together with a depth of knowledge of design, aesthetics and the industry made working at TRIB a given step.

A calm and peaceful personal aura, but with a lot of energy and ideas - she always has a project going on. Renovations, interior, handcraft, and building stuff has been a big occupation and interest besides work the later years. She recently bought and renovated a limestone barn on Gotland. Her home in Södermalm where she lives with her daughter Bonnie also recently got a facelift. The next interior project she plans will be a bit smaller and on wheels - the decoration of a camper van. Malin loves the concept of road-trips. And like the art of putting a road-trip playlist together almost as much as the actual road trip.

Malin is a member of the choir Powerballadkören - yes, they only sing power ballads and raise the voice a little bit extra for all the broken-hearted out there. Malin's heart is not that broken - she fills the time with family and friends, enjoying nature, outdoor, music, gardening, food, cooking, art, and photography.

Her future plan is to: learn to play the piano, camp more, read more and dance more.

She grew up in the countryside outside Sweden's oldest city Sigtuna. With an area code same as Stockholm (08) you could pretty much say that she was brought up in the big city. This was her home for nineteen years.

After high school, she did a year in Lund before moving to Sydney, Australia. She came home three years later with a Bachelor degree in business and a really really nice tan. Went on to do a diploma at Berghs in marketing communication and got a job as a planner at a communication agency for two years. It was about then she met and fell in love with TRIB.

Moa Bernhardsson

Freelance Director & Talent Agent

moa@trib.se — +46766276871

A warm hearted and energetic epicurean who believes that a strong will can move mountains and life cannot be lived without coffee.

Moa has lived and moved all around the long country of Sweden. Finally she ended up in Gotland for some years before she headed back to Stockholm. But she still stands with on toe on the island, on both the east and north side. This is where she charges her batteries in both springtime, fall and summer.

Moa was the first member of the TRIB Family. Nowadays she’s also a partner in crime. She has a passion for human minds and their complexity, loves to lay the puzzle of how to create the best of organizations, teams and people, and to see them thrive.

Moa is a proud mother of two lovely sons. She is a wine lover, a beach bum who will not get out of the sun, and a real foodie.

She once thought that she was going to start up a hotel in Bali, then a bicycle shop in Amsterdam, but instead ended up running a restaurant with friends on Gotland. And after several of years in that sector she decided to study marketing at Medieinstitutet in Stockholm. Shortly after she took the leap and the chance to join TRIB, where she helps and challenges people to find new paths in life and businesses to evolve together with the right talents.

Peter Teigene

Talent Agent

peter@trib.se — +46733370356

With love and curiosity for the digital evulotion, Peter is a person that loves when things are happening and love to make things happen.

Moving from the rural countryside of Uppland, Peter got to know and love Stockholm, working as a bicycle messenger. When he got tired of pedaling, the passion for photography and architecture took over. For several years he was working alongside with some of the world's greatest photographers, architect and magazines.

After 8 years of working in the field of photography, it was time for a change. Peter wanted to be closer to the origin and the beginning of ideas working and connecting it with communication. With that aim, he started at Stockholm University and the Graphic Management Program. During the education, he lead 48h - Europe's biggest Advertising Competition for and by students.

Specialised in digital communication and e-commerce Peter loves new technology and to figure out how to make good use of its possibilities. For him the same applies to people, he really likes the challenge to find the right people and their specific qualities.

For Peter, the woods are always calling and when he is off work and family life allows it, you will find Peter running the trails of Nackareservatet contemplating life´s small and big questions. He also has a thing for small, beautiful, old objects that he finds in fleamarkets.

Philip Åstmar

Creative Director & Talent Agent

philip@trib.se — +46707510107

A wacky creator and born innovator with built in mood indicator. A gadget geek with a passion for fun ideas, warm hearts and overall life hacking.

At the age of 5 Philip sent drawings to different companies with new product proposals and ideas for how they could improve their products. Since then he's been interested in problem solving. He also constantly comes up with new ways of improving the flows around him. Maybe that’s why he's persistent to have as many extra "helping” applications as possible in his computer and gladly change ways of doing stuff. This has proven to sometimes be more confusing than practical though.

Needless to say, Philip loves to come up with ideas. For the most part, it doesn’t even matter if they are good or bad. He just like the way his brain spins when he's thinking about stuff that doesn’t exist yet. If it’s important that the idea actually is a good one, he strongly believes in thinking together with others, because "none of us is smarter than all of us". Right?

Born in the southern parts of Sweden, he moved up north for some years then went back half way and has been living in Stockholm since 2008. He studied Interactive Art Director at Hyper Island and then went on working as a creative at KING advertising agency. Along with great colleagues, he mostly worked with two red-headed ladies called Judit & Judit and is partly responsible for putting them into lots of different situations and adventures.

Philip has also studied film history and Icelandic. One of those subjects he really enjoyed. The other one was learning Icelandic.
He also has quite recently gained interest in wine. He has nothing against practising his vague knowledge every now and then over some food that he preferably cookes together with his friends in the "Gourmet Gang Sthlm".
In the summer, though, you will probably find Philip at the Disc Golf Course, fighting between hope and despair.

Sofia Arvegård Wallin

Team Coach & Free Agent

arvegard@trib.se — +46706749703

Growing up, groups was an uncontrollable phenomena. At least that’s what she thought until the age of 24.

"The power of groups have always left me with lots of emotions. Scared, surprised, curious, happy, inspired, sad and totally in-love."

In 2006 she became a student at Hyper Island and was introduced for the first time to the latest research regarding group dynamics and conflict management tools.

The journey in personal- and professional development started there and then and has been going on ever since. Today she is helping groups and individuals to become both more effective and happier.

Sofia lives with her husband and their beautiful baby girl in Stockholm. She loves to work, eat good food, drink good wine, read books and spend time with family and friends. She loves music and have a constant longing for a crazy night out dancing to kick ass DJs.

Today she knows that groups are NOT an uncontrollable phenomena. With the right resources, management and support, groups can create a healthy environment and culture that makes people grow. And this is what she's trying to do, support groups and leaders, being true to her calling, helping individuals to transform.

Sofia Hansen

Talent Agent

sofia@trib.se — +46731586319

A people- and croissant loving human. With approximately 1 million thoughts racing around in the brain, there is a lot of energy going on.

Sofia grew up in the deepest forests of Småland. From here, she took the train to Hyper Island. Thought she was going to be a rock star designer, which she maybe could have been (if she followed that track), but instead changed her focus into Project Management. And that is what she has been up to since then. Handling a lot of different digital projects, most recently the fantastic app Swish.

Nowadays she is riding her bike to the lovely TRIB office, where she helps both talents and companies grow. And when getting home she goes for a fika, yoga, takes a refreshing run listening to slooow music or inhales her favorite, warm pine trees.

Sofia Wågnert

Talent Agent

sofiaw@trib.se — +46736130520

[Currently on maternity leave]

Sees herself as a sporty spice but only occasionally spends an hour at the gym or preferably on the tennis court.

Born and raised in a small town in Västmanland her parents always described her as eager and restless. Gave up the childhood dream of becoming a brain surgeon when she realised she had to study to become one.

As soon as she turned 18 she moved to London to stretch those restless wings, and stayed for a couple of years. But after Stockholm, Medieinstitutet, Berghs and TRIB she has now realised that this is the place where she belongs. She now lives in Vasastan with her designer husband, wild son and sometimes the grumpy family-dog Urban.

Sofia spends most of the summers in Skåne or Västkusten and dreams about buying that perfect little summerhouse of her own to fill with pretty things and lots of love.

She always strives to find the best way to do everything - from filling the dishwasher or organising the closet, to rolling out a campaign or launch a new website. Loves to dig deep into a process and improve and refine every step.

Sofia is working on letting go of control a little, and not analyzing everything. Her parents still describe her as eager and restless.
