Katarina Lilljequist Briem
Katarina is the Executive Assistant in the Stockholm Office supporting Johan Brenner and Fredrik Cassel. She plays a vital role in orchestrating the seamless flow of activities between deals, board meetings, and founder support.
I grew up in a warm and welcoming home in a small city in the South of Sweden. Being an only child I learned early on how to proactively build relationships which has ultimately led to the strong social skills I have today. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been an outgoing and curious individual with a genuine interest in connecting with people.

As a child I spent weekends on long walks along the sandy beaches of Skåne, exploring flea markets in the countryside and always ended the day with delicious home-cooked meals. These formative experiences really shaped the way I live my life today. My desire to support and care for others led me to my first role with Malmö Aviation working as a stewardess. I found immense joy brightening other people’s days. This commitment to looking after people continued as I transitioned to the role of Office Manager at Diplomat Communications in Stockholm.

In 2012, I joined Creandum as an Office Manager in Stockholm, a journey that would span a decade and transform the company into my work family. Whilst I cherished my role as Office Manager, an exciting opportunity emerged to support Johan and Fredrik as their Executive Assistant. I eagerly accepted this new challenge, driven by the prospect of enabling others to be their most exceptional selves. My attention to detail has earned me a black belt in solving the most intricate calendar puzzles, and it brings me immense joy to assist Johan and Fredrik in every aspect of their roles.

Alongside my incredible colleagues, I take pride in creating an office environment where every individual is cared for. This also extends into my personal life, where I delight in organizing gatherings for friends and family. I love hosting dinners with my husband and two kids where we take pleasure in creating cherished moments for our loved ones.
