Meet Mattias – Our Head of Business Development

Feb 28, 2022

For the last six months, Mattias Ekvall has been Head of Group Sales and Business development at Permian. What inspires Mattias and what are his ambitions for 2022?

“Six months within the Permian Group has confirmed my first impression. The Permian team truly shares my love for challenges and caring for each other as we work to solve them” says Mattias.


For the last six months, Mattias has led Permian’s sales team, worked to develop new business opportunities, and supported our clients in operating their businesses better and more efficiently.


“Mattias was the perfect match for us, something we understood in our very first meeting,” says Marianne Normann, CEO of Permian Group.



The perfect match


“The Permian Group has experienced rapid development in the last couple of years, and we are happy to have Mattias with us for a challenging, but exciting journey ahead,” says Marianne Normann, CEO of Permian Group.

As Head of Group Sales and Business Development, Mattias’s responsibilities include overseeing sales strategy and execution.


“I feel lucky to be a part of a challenging, very hardworking – and caring team,” says Mattias.



Extensive experience from the industry


Before joining Permian in the late summer of 2021, Mattias was a Senior Client Relationship Manager at Brummer & Partners in Stockholm. He has more than fourteen years of experience from the financial industry.


Permian Group’s mission statement is “Everything correct” and important values in working towards that goal are to be precise and dare to challenge each other.


“Important values also include being team players with deep respect for each other and our customers. Mattias has already shown that he is a positive, hardworking, and caring team player,” says Marianne.




Mattias new year’s resolutions


Part of the reason Mattias wanted to join Permian, was the company culture.

“The very first time I met representatives from Permian, I could sense the warmth in the organization. It is important for me that we obtain this unique, caring company culture, while still growing” says Mattias.


His ambitions apart from developing new business opportunities and services, also include sharing news more frequently.


“As we are growing, we will need new ambitious team players. Therefore, we will spend more time on sharing stories about projects that we are lucky enough to work on” says Mattias.
