Jonas is responsible for the strategic direction and financial foundation of KULTURENS. He has one leg on the organisation's finances, operations, and development – and the other on our partnerships, customers, and projects that ensure KULTURENS is sustainable today and robust tomorrow.

As the Managing Director, Jonas ties together the many threads that make KULTURENS a professional, well-managed, and visionary cultural home. He works with budgets, contracts, resource management, financial planning, and day-to-day collaboration with our customers and partners. Jonas ensures that we deliver what we promise — and that we do so with consideration, quality, and financial awareness.

With a background as an anthropologist and many years of experience as a cultural and event entrepreneur, Jonas has worked both locally and internationally in the intersection of culture, society, and business. He has created and managed large events, cross-sector collaborations, and complex productions – always with an eye on people, logistics, and finance. His experience from concert venues, cultural houses, and global projects gives him a rare ability to understand the value of culture while simultaneously ensuring that it can be economically sustainable.

Jonas shares the director position with our Creative Director, Ida, and our HR Director, Anastasia. At Culture, we build our leadership on a principle of balance: people, resources, and art are inseparable. Therefore, all three directorate areas hold the same weight when we decide on direction and priorities for the organisation.
