About

We built what we now help you build.

CulturesTable is an operator-led advisory and delivery firm. The people who advise and deliver here have run the operations they are advising on — across Sweden, India, Europe and the Americas.

Christian Jönsson

Founder & Partner

Christian Jönsson

Helsingborg, Sweden

Christian has spent twenty-five years building and running international operations at scale. He has held senior executive roles including Chief Information Officer, SVP of Global Business Services, and VP of Strategy — with direct responsibility for operations, partnerships and transformation across more than sixty markets in Europe, Asia, Latin America and India.

How we operate

  • • Operator-led. Both Christian and Manix have run the operations they advise on.
  • • India platform via delivery partners. People are hired, employed and HR-managed on our India platform via our delivery partners in India.
  • • One client per team. Each client team works exclusively for that client.
  • • Stay until it runs — with named exit criteria. We do not hand over a deck and disappear. We exit when the agreed criteria are met.

What we believe

  • • Start in the business case, not the culture workshop.
  • • Be specific or be quiet.
  • • Each offer must stand on its own commercially. Cross-sell is a bonus, never the business model.
  • • Pick clients we can actually help — we turn down work where we are not the right answer.
