Portrait of Mathias Karlsson Speaker · Advisor
01 · Background

A bridge between tech, people and business.

As an independent advisor, educator and speaker I'm driven by a belief that, used well, technology can solve many of our largest societal challenges. For me it isn't about the technology itself — it's about the people who use it. When you combine the right technology with engaged people, magic tends to happen.

I'm also deeply interested in "tech psychology" — how and why people react and behave the way they do when meeting new technology. That's where the most interesting conversations live.

02 · How I work

Curiosity before authority.

A large part of my life revolves around exploring how smart technology can create positive change. I watch the field, stay curious, test things, evaluate them.

What is it? Why is it good? How does it work? — only then can I share something that's actually worth listening to.

— How I work

Over my 20+ years in the tech industry I've learned to act as a bridge between technology, people and business. By explaining the complex simply, I've become a sought-after advisor and speaker.

I combine technical expertise with strategic thinking to help organisations navigate the digital shift. My perspective stretches from the past, through today, into the future — and that's often where genuine understanding appears.

As co-founder of Mindact.ai I help companies understand, use and implement AI in a meaningful, value-creating and responsible way. It's not about chasing trends — it's about understanding enough to choose what's actually worth doing.

I'm a firm believer in thinking in new directions and gladly challenge the old phrase "we've always done it this way". To move forward we need the courage to question our habits and welcome change.
