S2, EP 22: Mats Weiss Journey From Fairways to Finance: The Journey of a Swedish Pro Golfer Turned Global CFO
In this episode, we sit down with Mats Weiss, the dynamic CFO of Orro Group - a Swedish country boy whose journey from the golf course to the global finance stage is nothing short of remarkable.
Starting his career at PwC in Sweden while playing professional golf, his path has taken him through leadership roles at global giants like Nike, Philip Morris, 20th Century Fox, and beyond. Along the way, he’s worked across Europe, Australia, and Asia Pacific - building a career defined by resilience, adaptability, and relentless curiosity.
We explore his early days growing up in the southeast of Sweden, playing every sport imaginable - from tennis and handball to table tennis and volleyball - and how that foundation in teamwork and competition shaped his approach to leadership.
From navigating the entertainment industry during Disney’s acquisition of Fox, to steering an ecommerce business through the chaos of COVID-19, and now leading financial strategy at Orro Group, this episode is a masterclass in leading through change, staying curious, and building a global career without losing your roots.
Whether you're a finance professional, an aspiring leader, or just love a good origin story - this episode will inspire you to think bigger, stay agile, and never stop learning.
