We call it operator‑led consulting. Every recommendation comes from someone who has owned the P&L, set the prices, led the teams and carried the result — across Nordic markets, for more than 25 years.
That changes what advice looks like. We don't hand over a report and wish you luck. We stay until it works — as your interim leader, your advisor, or your partner with skin in the game.
Strategy and execution. Advice and accountability. Big‑company discipline at small‑company pace.
Interim
Sometimes a company can't wait for the perfect recruitment. A departure, a transition, a turnaround, an ownership change — the P&L doesn't pause while you search.
We step into the role — CEO or senior commercial leadership — take full ownership from day one, and hand over a stronger, more capable business when the permanent solution is in place. Not a caretaker. An operator with a mandate.
How interim worksAdvisory
Growth rarely stalls for lack of ideas. It stalls because strategy, processes and commercial execution stop reinforcing each other.
We take on focused engagements where the result is measurable:
Board
Owners and CEOs rarely lack information. What's scarce is an experienced counterpart — someone to test the difficult decisions against before they're made.
We serve as board member, chair support or standing sparring partner, bringing governance experience from Nordic boards and the perspective of someone who has sat on the operating side of the table.
How we support boardsDigital
Smaller businesses and associations need a web presence that simply works — without an agency retainer, without chasing three different suppliers when something breaks.
We develop, host and care for websites and digital services as one accountable partner. Clear scope, clear pricing, no surprises. From build to deployment to keeping it running.
What's includedVentures
Part‑ownership and product collaborations where operating experience is the capital. We invest time, commercial leadership and skin in the game alongside founders and product owners.
We build with founders, not for them.
How partnerships workWho we work with
Owners, boards and private equity who need a proven leader in the chair now.

Hands‑on support
Akenius AB was founded by Per Åkesson, formerly Director at VELUX with Nordic P&L responsibility, global pricing leadership and board experience including Kemp & Lauritzen A/S (Denmark). EMBA from Lund University; executive education at INSEAD.
The name carries a family history. Åkesson means son of Åke — and Åke was the founder's grandfather, an entrepreneur who ran his own businesses, as his father did before him. Akenius is the Latin form of that name, carried into a third generation of building companies.
