About this episode

Change is no longer something leaders prepare for once a year. It is now part of everyday leadership.

In this episode of Business Transformation Journey, I speak with Eva Wikmark Walin, a senior HR executive with over 25 years of experience in people strategy, organizational transformation, employee experience, and culture change.

Eva has held senior roles including Chief People Officer at Transcom Worldwide, supporting 30,000 employees across 26 countries, and VP & Global Head of Employee Experience at Sandvik, responsible for 45,000 people in 170 countries. She also spent 17 years at IBM across HR, M&A integration, and management consulting.

In this conversation, we explore:
- How leaders can move from crisis to clarity
- Why trust and transparency matter during change
- How to involve employees in transformation
- Why AI transformation must start with leadership strategy
- How middle managers can support people through uncertainty
- Why psychological safety is becoming a business priority

This conversation is for executives, HR leaders, transformation leaders, and managers who want to lead change with more clarity, trust, and confidence.
