Meet Marcus Johansson, one of our young leaders in Duni Group 🚀

Marcus joined Duni Group back in 2019 as a Junior Trade Marketing Manager at our headquarters in Malmö, Sweden. Now he works as a Marketing Manager in region NorthEast.

💥 Tell us about your role?
In January 2020 I got the opportunity to take on the role as Marketing Manager for our NorthEast region after being one year within the company. My first task was to build a new regional marketing team in the light of a re-organization. Little did I know that the pandemic was just around the corner which aggravated the task. Our focus shifted in an instant and it was a challenge being new in the manager role and to suddenly handle short-time work hours, continue building the team spirit and support everyone in the uncertain times. 

💥 What are your most valuable learnings so far in your career as a leader?
The greatest lesson I have learned is how central structure and project management is. But more importantly that team spirit and support is the key to success. I also know now that a manager’s job isn’t to know exactly everything about everyone’s job in detail, on the opposite, it is to encourage the team to learn from each other and empower everyone to see their full potential.

💥 What is on your agenda for 2022?
I just got back from a period of paternity leave which has been the most overwhelming experience so far. It has given me a different way to look at life and I take many learnings of being a parent back to work. This year, my goal is to continue developing in areas I am passionate about, such as marketing and project management, which I am sure I will do.
