FirstVet

I rarely post anything here - But after 8.5 years as CEO of FirstVet, it’s time to shake things up and swap roles. As of last week, my co-founder Per Victor is stepping into the role of CEO, while I get to focus on what I love most — Partnerships and international expansion 😎 When we started FirstVet back in 2016, our first consultations were held in a tiny Stockholm office, and our team could fit around a coffee table. Fast forward to today: we’ve helped millions of pets, collaborate with fantastic partners, and have built a team of hundreds of talented vets, offering them the flexibility they deserve 🐾 ❤️ With strong investor backing from Henry, Chris, Staffan, Jonno and an amazing team behind us, I’m confident that the best is yet to come. Getting to focus feels great, and for those of you working at potential partners that we are not yet collaborating with - Brace yourselves, because we're just getting started 🏄♂️

Big changes at FirstVet 🚀 After serving as Executive Chairman since our early days, I’m excited (and honored) to step into the role of CEO. It’s been an incredible journey building FirstVet alongside my co-founders David Prien, Lars Martin N. and Joakim Widigs. From those first moments in our Stockholm “closet office,” to where we stand today—helping millions of pets around the world, partnering with leading insurance companies, and supporting hundreds of veterinarians with flexible work opportunities. 🐶 😺 Going forward, David will head up our Partnerships and International business while Lars Martin will head up our E-commerce and the Nordics. As CEO, I’m committed to taking FirstVet to even greater heights. We’ve built a strong foundation with a talented team that is ready to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in pet healthcare, an amazing group of outstanding veterinarians and the support of our great investors, Staffan at Creandum, Henry at OMERS Ventures, Jonno at Mubadala Capital and Chris at TELUS Global Ventures (TGV). I’m excited for what’s to come and look forward to leading FirstVet through its next chapter of growth and innovation. Let’s keep building the future of pet care together!

Let's Hear it for the Women Behind the Woofs! It's International Women's Day, and at FirstVet, we're celebrating the incredible women who power the pet world. Today and every day. 😻 Did you know? Women make up the majority of pet parents and veterinary professionals. But balancing a demanding career with personal commitments can be a real challenge. ⚕️ That's where FirstVet comes in. We're a digital vet clinic, offering vets the chance to ditch the stressful clinic environment and work remotely. This translates to greater control over your schedule, eliminating commutes, and ultimately, freeing up valuable time to pursue your passions outside of work. One of our 400 vets put it purrfectly: "As a single mom, FirstVet has been life saving. It allows me to be there for my child while still using my veterinary skills" At FirstVet, we believe flexibility and remote work empower women to excel in their careers. It's a win-win for our amazing vet professionals and the furry patients they care for. 🩺 #internationalwomensday #firstvet #worklifebalance
