Thanks Rickard Lyko for an inspiring conversation!
We just wrapped up an inspiring webinar with Rickard Lyko, founder and CEO of Lyko — one of the Nordics’ fastest-growing beauty and haircare companies. It was full of hard-earned lessons and honest reflections.
Rickard shared key lessons from Lyko’s impressive growth story, from navigating logistics and margins to leading with authenticity and long-term vision. He also offered valuable insights into the future of e-commerce, based on his own hands-on experience in scaling a digital-first retail company.
Rickard spoke about the journey of turning a small family salon into one of the Nordics’ leading beauty e-commerce companies. What stood out most was his down-to-earth approach to leadership and growth.
Here are a few key takeaways:
Building with family brings unique trust and long-term alignment — but also demands clear communication and role clarity.
Inventory and profit margins aren’t just backend concerns — they’re strategic levers. Knowing your numbers inside and out is what allows for smart decisions and sustainable growth.
Leadership is shared — sometimes you lead, sometimes you support. His philosophy: never ask your team to do something you wouldn’t do yourself.
It was a masterclass in combining sharp business thinking with grounded leadership. Huge thanks to Rickard for joining us and sharing so openly!
