Where we started and where we are going

Mundus was founded in 2012 to provide information and analysis to embassies accredited to Sweden. Since then, we have built up a strong client base amongst diplomats, businesspeople and international students.

Mundus International means that our focus is in interpreting events for an international audience, adding extra context for those new to the Nordics – or monitoring the Nordics – who are not aware of the historical background to everything and ensuring that we make explicit cultural assumptions that the locals may take for granted. We provide facts, analysis and interpretation –  pulling the whole story together for an international audience.

Mundus International is led by our CEO and founder, Jessica Nilsson Williams, who has covered Swedish politics for over 20 years, advising the American Embassy on Swedish political developments during both the Clinton and Bush administrations. The Commercial Director is Sean Williams, who was a senior strategy and commercial leader for both BPs trading business, and with NASDAQ. Sean has very broad international business experience, and leads Mundus’ business and economic analysis. Our Head of Finland Affairs is Janetta Santalo.

The Mundus team includes a dozen talented individuals who are passionate about current affairs. The team includes a mix of both nationals and internationals who speak a number of languages fluently, including Arabic, Finnish, French, German and Spanish.
