Tell us about yourself and your role at Svea Solar
My name is Erik Tevell and I am the CIO of Svea Solar. I have, together with my department’s head, the responsibility of everything from hardware (computers/mobiles) to our global enterprise software solutions.
What does the IT team do at Svea Solar and what are some of the things you're working on now?
IT is a quite vast area where we provide hardware and software enabling business success. Our largest focus at the moment is to streamline our environments to support rapid growth, at the same time ensuring security, efficiency, and scalability.
What's the biggest challenge for your team?
A challenge we have is to balance short-term solutions with long-term ambitions. Needs are changing fast and we need to provide suitable tools, at the same time building for the future.
As always in a hypergrowth environment, it’s a challenge to maintain the culture and team spirit, and constantly adapt ways of working fitted to the company and department size.
What are your favorite aspects of working at Svea Solar?
I am really proud to be part of the transition to a sustainable society. When I look back at this period in time I can proudly say that I was part of the solution transferring to clean energy!
Also, the high competence and drive within all parts of Svea are on another level! It’s so many things going on at Svea, I get constantly amazed by my colleagues' achievements!
Tell us something we don't know about you/what else do you like to do when you're not saving the planet?
The kitchen is the place where I can express my creative side. I really enjoy experimenting with tastes, ingredients, and inputs from all places of the world. 🥗🍲🥥
I also love spending time with my family and in the slopes ⛷️🏂🏻
