Thomas Bennet
I am an experienced leader and change agent with a strong focus on results, clear direction, and long-term development. Through my company, PBF Consulting AB, I support businesses in growing, transforming, and navigating complex business situations – as an advisor, consultant, or interim executive.
With over 20 years of experience in senior roles – including CEO, Sales Director, Business Development Lead, and Organisational Development Specialist – I have worked in both small growth companies and large international corporations. Often during periods of change, expansion, or restructuring.
What I bring to the table is the ability to quickly establish structure, direction, and momentum – especially in fast-moving and complex environments. I combine a strategic, big-picture perspective with a pragmatic, action-oriented approach, and I particularly thrive when there is something to build, develop, or transform.
I have led geographically dispersed and multicultural organisations, driven change across both industrial and service sectors, and worked closely with executive teams on matters such as strategy implementation, corporate governance, commercialisation, and post-acquisition integration.
What drives me is turning potential into tangible results – working with people and organisations to find solutions, build something sustainable, and leave a positive impact. I believe in collaboration built on clear goals, openness, and commitment.
