The person accountable for the work.
I founded Galactus after 17 years leading IT from inside telecom, construction, infrastructure, and industrial groups. Before Galactus, I led international IT departments at executive committee level, carried digital programs on major infrastructure projects, and managed the IT side of multi-country mergers, earn-outs, and carve-outs. Every Galactus mandate is principal-led and fully independent. I remain accountable for the judgment, the work, and the handover.

Why Galactus exists
I spent seventeen years running IT from the inside: leading international IT departments at executive committee level, carrying digital programs on major infrastructure projects, and managing the IT side of mergers, earn-outs, and carve-outs across countries. That includes senior IT leadership across Northern European operations representing more than €100 million in annual revenue. When a board asked me a hard question about IT, I could put evidence on the table because living inside the systems, contracts, and teams was my full-time job.
Most organizations do not have that person. The reports exist, the consultants get paid, but when it matters, at a deal, after an incident, before a major investment, what the board holds is opinion formatted as a document. The gap between how IT feels and what the evidence shows is where value quietly leaks away, and where deals, budgets, and careers get decided on guesswork.
I founded Galactus to close that gap. Facilitated assessments run on evidence: anchored scoring, claims that only count when demonstrated, and red flags that cannot hide behind a good average. The free GRIP scorecard is a self-reported first signal; deeper conclusions require facilitated verification.
Evidence over opinion. That is the whole idea.
“If you cannot defend the score, it is not a score. It is an opinion.”

Objective by default
Galactus has no reseller agreements, referral fees, commissions, or vendor incentives. Recommendations serve the client decision only.
Executive context first
Sven frames technology choices against leadership priorities, budget reality, ownership, and business risk.
Practical over theoretical
The work shapes governance, cadence, and ownership that the organization can carry forward.
Operating Principles
The standards that guide every Galactus engagement.
Evidence Over Opinion
In a facilitated assessment, a claim without proof does not move a score. Galactus asks to see the restore test, contract, or export so findings can survive scrutiny.
Radical Independence
No reseller agreements, referral fees, commissions, or vendor incentives. Recommendations are made solely in the client’s interest.
Results Over Reports
Success is measured in outcomes, ownership, and visible progress—not the volume of deliverables.
Transformation, Not Maintenance
Every engagement aims to leave the organization stronger, clearer, and easier to govern.
A different operating model
Senior by design
Every engagement is led directly by Sven. The person who frames the advice remains accountable for the work.
Independent by design
Galactus has no reseller agreements, referral fees, commissions, or vendor incentives. Recommendations are made solely in the client’s interest.
Built to leave capability behind
Even an interim mandate should create permanent improvement: clearer ownership, stronger people, better governance, and a delivery rhythm the organization can sustain.
