Sweden

Johan Munck is a European retailer of Swedish origin who was “deported” in the 90-ties when working for H&M. It took him 19 years of international missions for several retailers in 6 countries before returning to Sweden again. He has held several leading positions for international retailers like H&M, Esprit, NewLook and Hunkemöller. Today he is the CEO of the Swedish kidswear icon, Polarn O. Pyret.

This evening Johan will share with us the challenge of coming into a company in crisis just on the brink of the most turbulent times the retail industry, as well as he himself, has ever seen - the Covid-19 pandemic. This period changed the retail sector forever and accelerated a long-term trend where there is no turning back. Johan will let us in on how they succeeded in their company turn-around and his view on the future of retail.

This will be a hybrid meeting held at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Malmö, and virtually on Zoom, with Johan presenting at the Radisson.
