Hej Stockholm! 🇸🇪🌳
PUMA Around the World: Meet Our Swedish PUMA Fam & Their Stockholm Office
October 17, 2024PUMA Around the World: Meet Our Swedish PUMA Fam & Their Stockholm Office
October 17, 2024Welcome to Stockholm, where our PUMA office thrives. Situated in the north of centre, our Stockholm office is more than just a workplace; it’s a vibrant hub where innovation meets tradition, and the serene beauty of nature blends effortlessly with the pulse of urban life.
Located just on the outskirts of northern Stockholm, our office is nestled in a serene yet vibrant area. Spanning 2,130 m², it houses a diverse range of business functions, including People and Organization, Merchandising, Finance, Marketing, Sales, Cobra PUMA Golf, IT, and Business Solutions. As a relatively new office, having opened in 2021, PUMA Stockholm is still establishing their traditions like PUMAFam celebrations or Pizza evenings. However, the PUMA spirit within our walls is unmistakable, with each department contributing to the unique energy and every PUMA bringing their true authentic self to the office.
📣 What our Stockholm PUMAs say
Let’s hear it, Stockholm! We spoke with Linda Lundberg, Key Account Manager, Stephen Fisher-Toivo, Director People & Organization Nordic, Charlotta Söderstrom, Senior Manager Key Account Marketing Nordic, and Martin Willners, Nordic Marketing Manager Cobra, and asked what makes the Stockholm office such a special PUMA location, how they would describe the office in three words, and what their best memories are. Here’s what they had to say:
Stephen Fisher-Toivo,
Director People & Organization Nordic
Best office moment:
Every month, a different business function invites Stockholm colleagues to Be Together over breakfast. It’s more than just a chance to make a sandwich before starting work – it is an opportunity to meet new people, reconnect with colleagues you haven’t seen for a while, and to understand more about what our colleagues are working on. Each function has the freedom to create a theme (the croissants were particularly popular during the French breakfast) and an ice-breaker activity (my team came second in building the highest tower out of marshmallows and toothpicks, one time). I learnt many important things about our business through our breakfasts and made some great connections at the same time.
What makes the location special?
The Nordics is a very special place to be. We have 4 very distinct seasons each year, and the most important thing we all wish for is SUNLIGHT! The Stockholm office has big windows and one of the largest sundecks in Sweden with fully functioning Wifi, which makes it very pleasant to work and meet with our PUMA fam outside in the warmer months. If you have participated in the ILP leadership program, you will most likely have been inspired by walking through our showroom to our amazing Event Space, with floor to ceiling windows and welcoming urban vibe, perfect for learning; On the other side of the office, our golf showroom & simulator allows us to showcase our range – you may even find Mondo swinging his Cobra driver here from time to time 😉
We strive to provide everything here that our colleagues would need for a productive & purposeful workday: flexible, open workspaces supported by meeting rooms and breakout areas, close to nature but also a short distance from the city with excellent public transport options close by. We have a full gym and indoor cycle parking in the building, as well as a work room for families who may need to bring their children to the office occasionally.
Describe the office in three words:
Urban, uplifting, homely. 😊
