Cecilia Weckstrom is a product designer, marketing- and business strategist whose career reflects her passion for connecting people and innovation for impact. For nearly two decades she has held various roles at the LEGO Group and played a strong part in the LEGO turnaround to become the world’s most powerful global brand and the most reputable global company in CSR**.

Over her career, Cecilia has worked across product and experience innovation, customer insight, digital marketing and -transformation and engaging the public in the LEGO Group’s responsibility strategy. She is a champion of consumer co-creation, open innovation and eco-systems for value creation.
