Jonas Kjellberg Biography

Jonas Kjellberg is a highly accomplished entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and thought leader with a remarkable track record of creating and scaling businesses, particularly within the digital and circular economy spaces. He is best known as one of the co-creators of Skype.

In 2020, Kjellberg founded NORNORM in collaboration with IKEA, applying a circular economy model to office interiors. NORNORM offers flexible and sustainable office solutions by promoting the reuse of furniture, contributing to the well-being of employees, businesses, and the planet. This venture has rapidly grown to become one of the fastest-growing circular companies in the world, often referred to as “The Uber of Office Furniture.”

Kjellberg has held numerous influential positions, including Head of Internet Investments at Kinnevik, where he oversaw investments totaling more than €700 million in companies such as Zalando, Avito, Lamoda, Jabong, and Hello Fresh.

He also served as Chairman of iCloud, which was later sold to Apple. His extensive experience in venture building includes successful exits like Nonoba, Player.IO, and Kenetworks, all sold to Yahoo. He is also an investor in Gavagai, the Swedish equivalent of OpenAI.

As the former Head of BCG Digital Ventures Nordics and a senior advisor at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Kjellberg played a key role in helping major corporations build and invest in artificial intelligence and innovative ventures.

Kjellberg is also a respected lecturer at Stanford University and the Stockholm School of Economics, where he teaches entrepreneurship and exponential growth. He has co-authored three business books with Harvard and Stanford professors, including "Gear Up, Business Creation; Plan your path to Success," which focuses on business creation and strategic development.

His academic background includes an MBA from Uppsala University and an engineering degree from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Jonas Kjellberg is renowned for his expertise in aligning product development, sales strategies, and profitability to ensure that businesses thrive in an increasingly transparent and customer-driven market.

Jonas Kjellberg Speaking Topics

  • A COMEDY OF ERRORS: VC’S, THE TECH WORLD, AND THE MANY FAILURES THAT LEAD TO MY SUCCESS

    For every startup that becomes a unicorn, there are a dozen others that we never hear from again. Serial entrepreneur Jonas Kjellberg worked in many startups before his eventual success with Skype. In this talk, Jonas describes the lessons learned from his many startups, failures, and eventual successes that defined his career during the dot-com boom and beyond. Jonas details the ups-and-downs of the industry as well as his experiences from Campuz Mobile (acquired by Vodafone) to his success with Skype.

  • BUSINESS CREATION, GROWTH, AND SUCCESS

    Many people who launch startups have great ideas but little business experience. What does it take to create, grow, and sustain a business? In this talk, Jonas Kjellberg outlines the process of business creation based on his book Gear Up: Test Your Business Potential and Plan Your Path to Success. Entrepreneurs, Intrapreneurs, and everyone in between will learn how to transform their business idea into a high potential venture.

  • SOCIAL AND CREATIVE INNOVATION: NEW BUSINESS MODELS FOR A NEW GENERATION

    Great businesses are born from great ideas. Microsoft was born on user-friendly software, Skype on making calls on the Internet, and Uber on making car rides available everywhere. But how do you know if your idea is great? In this talk, Jonas Kjellberg speaks about what kind of innovative thinking is needed for success and why some good ideas and companies make it while others do not.

  • MANAGING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS, DISRUPTION, AND INNOVATION

    Each year digital inventions bring new changes to our markets and industries. First, the Internet changed how we did business; then, mobile changed how we interacted with each other. How can you prepare your business for the next disruption? In this interactive talk, Jonas Kjellberg speaks about the disruptors or “game changers” who are remaking the world of business around us. Then he challenges the game changers in the audience to tell him he’s wrong and to contribute to the discussion.
