We welcomed 80 finance, procurement, and operations leaders to Spotify’s HQ for our inaugural Stockholm CFO Series.

The evening was intended to spark meaningful conversations around spend control, smart scaling, and the evolving role of finance and procurement in high-growth businesses. From the energy in the room to the depth of insight shared on stage, it was clear this community has a lot to talk about—and a lot to learn from one another!

Our CEO/CFO panel brought together Frederik, Joel, Adam, and Hampus—leaders who have helped build some of the region’s most exciting companies. They spoke candidly about the realities of scaling responsibly, balancing ambition with discipline, and the frameworks they’ve used to manage spend while growing fast.

The Procurement Leadership panel featured Peter, Marta, and Chris, who explored why procurement is increasingly in the strategic spotlight. Their conversation touched on driving measurable impact, building influence across the business, and the shift from cost control to value creation. Check out the wrap-up video to learn more.
