Adam Roos
CIO, IT Director, and IT Manager in Stockholm
About me:
I am a strategic and servant leader in IT with a proven ability to grow, manage, and mentor global teams, fostering professional, value-driven IT organizations.
My ambition is to inspire people and shape organizations to focus on business value and best practices.
Over the years, I have successfully implemented IT governance, led audit initiatives, guided organizations through mergers and acquisitions, outsourcing transitions, vendor governance across both on-premises and outsourced environments. I have also delivered on multiple projects and strategic road maps.
My approach is defined by genuine care, determination, and a strong belief in leading by example. I believe an excellent work environment is built on trust and psychological safety, clear purpose and alignment, and a culture that promotes communication, collaboration and inclusion. I support and coach my teams actively and I have a commitment to mutual success.
I give meaningful recognition to people behind success. I share knowledge and experience generously, mentor individuals across organizations, and support ongoing development and create opportunities for growth.
My track record and LinkedIn recommendations reflect my dedication to leading successful outcomes, driving growth, and fostering a healthy, collaborative work culture where people feel engaged, appreciated, and empowered to do their best work.
