About Peter
Peter Öberg – MSc, MBA and former IT executive at Canon.
A senior management consultant who helps boards and leadership teams understand complex problems, secure decision-ready evidence and translate decisions into practical execution.
Background
From global IT leadership to independent executive support.
Peter holds an MSc in Business and Economics and an MBA. For more than twenty years he held senior IT roles at Canon – first as Head of IT for Canon Sweden and then as General Manager IT at Canon Inc., where his work included one of the company’s major European transformation initiatives. Since 2008 he has worked as a management consultant.
Experience from an international group, combined with many years of assignments for companies, municipalities, regions and organisations, makes it possible to see the connections between operations, finance, technology, law, governance and execution.
Experience is not an end in itself. It should shorten the time to clarity, improve the basis for decisions and increase the likelihood that what you decide is actually carried out.

Assignments Peter likes to take on
When the issue crosses several boundaries.
- Important projects that lose momentum or become more expensive
- Decision material that needs to become decision-ready
- Accountability that falls between functions or suppliers
- IT, digitalisation and AI where benefits or control are missing
- Property governance in municipalities and municipal companies
- Decisions that have been made but do not change day-to-day work
