My story…

I’m John Hallenius, the founder and principal consultant at Stratix. My journey in the world of business and finance has been both diverse and enriching, spanning over 20 years at a top-tier financial institution and as an independent consultant. Having grown up in England, studied and worked in Sweden, and spent the last 15 years in Luxembourg, my international experience has shaped a unique perspective that I bring to every project.

My passion for helping businesses thrive in an ever-changing landscape led me to establish Stratix. My aim was clear: to leverage my extensive experience to assist companies in solving complex problems, capturing opportunities, and navigating through transformative times. Stratix Services is more than a consulting firm; it's a platform for growth, innovation, and strategic development.

As a Swedish national, I infuse the Nordic approach to business in my work, which emphasizes transparency, efficiency, and a deep respect for collaborative processes. My background is rich with projects centered around organizational development, strategic planning, and significant mergers and acquisitions, equipping me with a profound understanding of the intricacies of business transformation. My credentials also include a Masters of Science in Industrial Economics and Management and a Bachelor of Business Administration from top tier schools in Sweden. I also have a Scrum Master certification, highlighting my commitment to agile project management and organizational agility.

At Stratix, we believe in the power of partnership and the value of shared knowledge. Our network of professionals and collaborative platform ensures that our clients receive comprehensive, multidisciplinary solutions tailored to their unique needs. Whether it's steering through M&A activities, developing strategic initiatives, or fostering organizational development, my goal is to bring clarity, direction, and positive outcomes to your business challenges.
