Steering a Giant: Nina Jönsson on Strategy, Stability & Market Leadership
When Nina Jönsson became CEO of ICA Gruppen in 2022, the company was under heavy pressure from fast-growing low-price rivals. By investing in price, sharpening strategy, and refocusing on customer value, she has led ICA back to growth while strengthening Apotek Hjärtat’s position as Sweden’s largest pharmacy chain. In this session, Nina discusses leading through volatility, rebuilding trust, and guiding a market leader through major competitive shifts. As Chair of Svensk Handel, she also shares her view on shaping an entire industry in a time of rapid change.

Competing to Win: How Sweden Can Scale, Export and Stay Competitive
Nina Jönsson, CEO of ICA Group, and Rickard Lyko, CEO and Co-Founder of Lyko, discuss what competitiveness, export and scale really mean in practice for Swedish retail companies operating in a tougher global landscape.
From productivity and AI to speed, regulation and leadership, the discussion focuses on what Sweden must do now to scale winners and stay competitive internationally. The conversation also dives into ICA Group’s and Lyko’s own playbooks for winning in an increasingly competitive market. From how ICA balances local strength with scale and efficiency, to how Lyko builds international growth through brand, technology and customer obsession, the session offers concrete insights into the strategic choices, priorities and trade-offs required to compete—and win—at scale.
