Ingela Garneij

Ingela has spent her career at the heart of some of the world’s most recognised digital product organisations — Mojang/Microsoft, King, and Starbreeze — leading in environments where speed, scale, and creative ambition define success.

At Mojang/Microsoft, she led the global Minecraft development organisation with full P&L responsibility, growing it from 70 to over 100 people while transforming it into a product-led organisation. Those who have worked with her describe her as an energising and empathetic leader — someone who moves fast, creates transparency, and brings teams into alignment without losing the human side of leadership. She brings rare executive experience leading product ecosystems serving millions of users, combining strategic leadership with hands-on operational delivery at scale.

Currently, Ingela works with leadership teams to navigate organisational complexity, sharpen product strategy, and accelerate delivery.
