Make the big calls right.
Senior partners help leadership teams decide on strategy, deals and change.
Who we are
Linnea and Co. is an independent advisory firm of thirty people in Stockholm and New York. We work on strategy, operations and deals, always with a partner in the room.

Four core practices, one team
Strategy
1 of 4
Corporate strategy
Most strategies fail between the board and the front line. We build one your people can act on: a short list of choices, each with its cost, owner and the evidence behind it.
Growth strategy
Portfolio review
Board offsite
Operations

Operating model
When the boxes change and the meetings do not, nothing changes. We redesign who decides what, in which forum, and how work flows between them.
Organisation design
Decision rights

Mergers and integration
The price is the easy part. Most value is lost in the first hundred days, so we plan day one before you sign, and stay until the two businesses run as one.
Commercial diligence
Synergy plans

Pricing and growth
Pricing is the fastest lever on margin and the least used. We reset price, mix and promotion category by category, on your own data, and train your teams to keep it there.
