“As a consultant at Service Star Brands, I came to know Niklas as a master in people-first leadership. I’ve often seen Niklas often set the bar for his people quite high, and then capably motivate and coach them to meet that bar. He builds a compelling vision, effectively rallies the team around it, and then — by and large — encourages teammates figure out how to execute autonomously, on their own successful terms. This kind of ethos creates an energizing and ambitious culture at Service Star Brands, and likely at any other organization of which Niklas is a part! It’s also great to talk through strategy problems with him: Niklas comfortably pivots between big-picture ideation and operations-level needs analysis in order to meet those grand goals. Lastly, I’ve always been impressed by his apparent ability to build rapport with just about anyone — essential for any diverse & growing skilled trades firm. Niklas really cares about his people, and they feel it.”
