Marie Söderqvist - New Head of Public Health at EPHI

Marie Söderqvist has a long experience in different parts of the health sector. Most recently, she worked as Head of Communications and Public Affairs for WeMind, one of Sweden's largest privately-owned psychiatry companies, and previously she was the Federal Director of the Swedish Food Industry, where public health issues are central. Before that, she founded, and was CEO of, United Minds, an analytics company within the global communications group Weber Shandwick.  

She has produced the podcast Hälsa för Ohälsosamma (Health for the Unhealthy) with David Eberhard as host for over three years. She is also on the board of a Swedish Classic that works on behalf of Vasaloppet, Vätternrundan, Lidingöloppet and Vansbrosimmet. In addition, Marie Söderqvist has a background as an editorial writer and columnist in several major newspapers such as SvD and Expressen to name a few. Marie is also on the board of the Free Enterprise Foundation.

With this experience and background, she contributes to creating breadth and weight in issues that affect everyone, but which traditional party politics has a strange difficulty in capturing and making relevant.
