Elisabet Lagerstedt is a strategic advisor, consultant, transformative executive coach, and author working at the intersection of leadership, strategy, and systemic change.

She supports leaders and organisations in growing beyond business-as-usual, strengthening their capacity to hold uncertainty, navigate complexity, and contribute to a more sustainable, regenerative, and equitable future. Her work is grounded in foresight, purpose-led strategy, systems thinking, and vertical leadership development.

Elisabet is the Founder and CEO of Future Navigators, a Certified B Corporation, where she works with senior leaders and executive teams on strategic renewal, leadership development, and transformative change.

Over the past 30+ years, she has worked across global corporations such as Unilever, Hilti Group, and Thule Group, and advised leaders in innovative companies including IKEA and Oatly.

Along the way, she has supported hundreds of leaders and entrepreneurs in clarifying purpose, reimagining strategies and business models, and creating meaningful value for people and planet.

Alongside her practice, Elisabet is currently pursuing a PhD in Transformative Business Leadership, exploring how inner development and leadership maturity enable systemic change — across individuals, organisations, and ecosystems.

She holds a Master’s degree in Social Sciences from Lund University School of Economics and Management, with a specialisation in Organisation and Leadership, and has completed executive education at institutions including Harvard, Oxford, IMD, INSEAD, and Singularity University. She is a certified StageSHIFT Transformative Coach, Barrett Values Centre Consultant, Immunity to Change Facilitator, and an Inner Development Goals Ambassador, with additional training in sustainability, business model innovation, and board work.

Elisabet is the author of Navigera in i framtiden (2018) and Better Business Better Future (2022). Since 2010, writing has been a central part of her work — a way to slow down, think deeply, and share reflections on leadership, meaning-making, and conscious change. In 2025, her blog was recognised by Feedspot as one of the Top 100 Business Blogs worldwide.
