Speaker: Patrik Berglund, CEO & Co-founder, Xeneta

Event Partners: Bridgepoint, Solano Partners

Building and scaling a global data platform in one of the world’s most complex and opaque industries starts and ends with a great product. Achieving scale, however, demands product-market fit, conviction, disciplined execution, category leadership, and a global mindset from day one.

At this curated gathering in Stockholm, Patrik Berglund, CEO and co-founder of Xeneta, will share how he built and scaled a category-defining SaaS business. He will reflect on Xeneta’s journey from a Norwegian startup to disrupting an industry and becoming a globally scaled data platform trusted by enterprise shippers and logistics providers worldwide.

The discussion will focus on Xeneta’s international expansion across Europe, North America, and beyond, exploring how Patrik approached entering new markets, building global commercial and leadership teams, and scaling the organisation in parallel with rapid growth. He will also share lessons from expanding the company’s scope over time and steering the business through periods of significant market volatility, including disruption caused by Covid-19 and the impact of the Red Sea conflict.

This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from a founder and CEO who has scaled a global platform from the Nordics to the world stage, as he shares practical insights on building, funding, and leading an international SaaS business at scale.

Key themes include:

• Scaling a global SaaS platform: building a category-defining data business in a complex, asset-heavy industry
• International expansion: entering new markets and building global commercial and leadership teams
• Platform evolution: expanding scope and value as the business scales
• Funding for growth: deploying capital to accelerate scale and market leadership
