Jonas Kjellberg
Founder and Chairman of the board, NORNORM
Jonas Kjellberg is a serial entrepreneur, disruptor, investor, and game changer. He is the Founder and Chairman of the board at NORNORM - a Nordic scale-up company with a fully circular business model that provides office furniture as a service.
“To grow and adapt to the future, all companies need to rethink and fully adopt circular models, and move away from the linear business model. This is just the beginning of the movement. All industries will be affected, and to survive and thrive business leaders have to be prepared to change. The circular movement will have a bigger impact on industries than the internet revolution,” says Jonas Kjellberg, Co-founder and Chairman of the Board of NORNORM.
