Chef at Digg – Myndigheten för digital förvaltning
Stockholm, Sweden
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Krantz is a seasoned digital government leader and technologist with 17+ years of experience blending agile software development, open data, and public-sector transformation. He has driven national initiatives—launching one of Sweden’s first open government efforts in 2008—and served as advisor to the IT minister and on multiple government inquiries into archives, legal digitalization barriers and interoperability. As a former CIO and CTO, he combines hands-on programming roots with strategic delivery of large-scale data platforms, linked data and accessible user interfaces under strong security constraints. Currently leading teams at Polismyndigheten and contributing to DIGG’s advisory body, he is known for translating complex policy and technical requirements into pragmatic, interoperable solutions. Less obvious: his background spans both academic computing (programming in ML/Modula-2, computer music) and protective security, giving him a rare mix of deep technical curiosity and operational risk awareness.
