A Swede is included when the American magazine Time publishes its prestigious list of the world’s hundred most influential people in 2024.
It is about Jesper Brodin, manager of Ikea’s holding company Ingka Group.
Brodin gets an honorable place on the list for his work with sustainable development within Ikea, and is honored for “showing the way” to combine sustainable development with profitability, CEO colleague Arianna Huffington writes as justification.
55-year-old Brodin, who has, among other things, been assistant to Ingvar Kamprad and held a number of other top positions within Ikea, leads the company based in Leiden in the Netherlands.
Brodin is joined by a number of top international names. Extra space is given to the Russian regime critic Julia Navalnaja, the British-Albanian artist Dua Lipa, the American football player Patrick Mahomes, the far-right politician Giorgia Meloni from Italy and the head of the chip manufacturer Nvidia Jensen Huang. They are together with 94 others.
The list has been published since 1999 and the people are selected by the magazine’s editors.
