Testimonials
Daniel Nordström
Editor in Chief, VLT Bonnier News, Sweden
"AnnaKarin Lith is a unique leader, for she has all the necessary knowledge, regardless of position, in a media company. She can take on the role as a reporter or as a news director. She has experience of being editor in chief as well as working at the very top of a big concern. In addition to this she also has deep knowledge of both companies and the private market’s department’s strengths and development opportunities.
All this knowledge does not only come from the abundance of jobs she has taken on during her long career, but first and foremost from her fundamental interest regarding organizations construction and how different sections of a media house must interlink and work against the same goal.
AnnaKarins main feature is leadership, digital journalism, the upbringing of organizations and how one as a leader succeeds in getting everyone to understand and strive against the same goal.
I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to work with her."

Mattias Wallström
Head of sports concept and sport rights, Bonnier News, Sweden
"Together with AnnaKarin Lith I developed sports journalism in one of Sweden's biggest local newspaper groups. Together we had the courage to try new solutions and challenge previous truths to develop digitally. As sports director I was allowed to expand my vision, hire new digital coworkers and do things that we had never done before. AnnaKarin Lith gave me the courage to "think outside the box" which made us take big steps and increase the number of paying readers interested in sports."
