Meet our consultants

Evelina Kogsta

Prior to joining Rud Pedersen, Evelina worked for the Moderate Party for six years in the Swedish Parliament, focusing on issues regarding taxation and finance, as well as a political expert at Almega, the Employers’ Organisation for the Swedish Service Sector and as Press Secretary for Stockholm Pride.

How long have you been with the company? What does your role focus on/include?
For two years now! I work mostly with our projects in infrastructure and defence. I keep track of our sales numbers, and of course the usual consultant tasks such as stakeholder mappings and PowerPoint presentations.

How does the current Swedish EU Presidency affect Public Affairs/your work, if at all?
Lots of clients are very curious about the presidency and want to get close to the different activities. Trying to get clients to partake in the different exhibitions and visits that are connected to the EU-meetings is crucial to our work right now.

Hobbies? What do you do outside of the office?
Wine. I drink wine. I run and read a lot too, but mostly I drink wine with my friends.

Advice to colleagues starting out their consultant career?
Be curious, ask for help and pay attention. The best part of this job for me has always been listening and learning from my excellent and wise colleagues.

If you could have dinner with one historical figure, living or dead, who would you choose? And what would be the one question you would ask them?
Gertrude Stein! One of my main life goals is to buy her old apartment in Paris. And if I could only ask one question, it would be where all her secret hiding places were.
