Portrait of Erik Andersson
i. Biography
The Work Today
Commercial sourcing is the through-line in Erik Andersson’s path: buyer work at Siemens (2007) put him close to the day-to-day mechanics of purchasing, while successive roles at Scania Group—Sourcing Manager Projects (2007–2009) and Sourcing Manager (2009–2010)—extended that practice into larger, more coordinated supply work. The progression is a practical one, built on negotiation, alignment, and the kind of attention that keeps complex organizations moving.
Advisory and leadership roles widened that remit without changing its core. As Management Consultant at Procure It Right (PIR) (2010–2012) and then principal at BTCG - Business Technology Consulting Group (2013), Erik Andersson worked in spaces where process and judgment carry equal weight. At Coop Sverige, that continued as team leader sourcing Indirect Material and services (2013–2015), where the work sat behind the visible parts of the business but still shaped how it functioned.
Strategy, supplier development, and logistics define the current brief: Chef KAM, strategi och leverantörsutveckling, Coop Logistik Transport at Coop Sverige (since 2016). That title points to a role that has to hold commercial priorities, supplier relationships, and delivery systems in the same frame. Alongside that, Hendrick's Gin ambassador of Hendrick's Gin adds a public-facing spirits role to the mix, extending his work beyond procurement into brand representation.
