Howden Sweden expands beyond corporate insurance
Howden’s Swedish business launch announcement sets out a dedicated employee benefits and pension capability for corporate clients. Mohlin, appointed Head of Employee Benefits & Pension, will be responsible for building the team and shaping services around Swedish employers and their employees.
Marie Gustafsson, chief executive of Howden Sweden, said the company’s established corporate insurance offering provided the foundation for entering the local life market. She described the expansion as a way to help employers attract and retain talent and respond to changing employee expectations.
The development broadens the scope of Howden’s Swedish client relationships rather than announcing an acquisition. The business has launched, while recruitment and development of its commercial proposition form part of Mohlin’s remit.

Mohlin brings life insurance and pension experience
Mohlin has more than 15 years of experience in Swedish insurance, including life insurance, occupational pensions and strategic business development. He joins from Max Matthiessen, where he was Business Specialist Life & Pension.
Previously, he spent nearly a decade at Folksam, most recently as Sales Lead for the intermediary market. Mohlin said his ambition was to build a challenger in Sweden through client focus, expertise and long-term value; that remains a management objective, not an established market position.
Swedish launch fills a Nordic coverage gap
Mark Ramsook, managing director of Global Growth Solutions at Howden Employee Benefits, said Sweden completes the practice’s Nordic footprint and fills a gap in its European capabilities.
The strategy combines domestic advisory teams with Howden’s international practice to serve both local and multinational employers. The company disclosed the following scale figures for the global employee benefits and pensions practice, not for the new Swedish business.
Conclusion
The next step for Howden Sweden is to build the local team and develop its employee benefits and pension offering under Mohlin. The announcement sets out those responsibilities but gives no timetable or Swedish revenue target.
