Viggo’s Journey from Stockholm to Melbourne
Sometimes the right next step isn’t about leaving something behind, but about moving toward new possibilities. For Viggo, that meant trading the familiar rhythm of Stockholm for the creative pulse of Melbourne. “I was drawn by the opportunity to explore new challenges, expand my network and gain exposure to a different market,” he shares. “Transferring felt like the right step to grow both professionally and personally.”
Relocating to Melbourne has been more than just a change of location. It has been a chance to experience a new culture that thrives on collaboration and creativity. “The Melbourne office has an open and collaborative vibe,” Viggo explains. “People are incredibly welcoming, and there’s a strong emphasis on team spirit and experimentation.” The environment encourages trying new things, sharing ideas and continuously learning from one another.
“Lean into the unknown. A transfer is a unique chance to step outside your comfort zone and gain fresh perspective. Embrace the change, stay curious and trust that the growth will come both professionally and personally.”

Since transferring, Viggo has been involved in tech strategy projects across different industries, each one adding new dimensions to his expertise. Collaborating with cross-functional teams has been particularly rewarding, allowing him to connect diverse perspectives to solve complex challenges. “Working with colleagues from different backgrounds and skill sets has helped me think differently and grow faster than I expected,” he says.
For Viggo, the move to Melbourne has reaffirmed that real growth often begins outside your comfort zone. It is in those moments of curiosity and exploration that the most meaningful transformation happens.
