▶︎ #156 | Lead by Example or Lose the Best: What A-Players Actually Need From Their Leaders w/ Svante Horn @Scandinavian Data Centers Join your host, Aleksandra Lemańska, for a refreshingly candid episode of the Leman Tech Leadership Podcast as she sits down with Svante Horn, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Scandinavian Data Centers - a company on a mission to become the energy node, data node, and heat node of their communities, building green, high-performance data center infrastructure across the Nordics. In this episode, Svante brings a non-linear career story - from Morgan Stanley M&A to fixed income sales at Merrill Lynch, through the 2008 financial crisis and a winding "desert wandering" phase - that ultimately led him to one of the most capital-intensive, slow-moving, and purposeful industries of our time. The conversation unpacks what it really takes to attract and retain A-players in a world where top talent no longer tolerates environments built purely for squeezing profit, and where purpose has become as powerful a recruitment tool as compensation.
