3gamma celebrates 7 years! Read our interview with CEO Peter Wahlgren

Peter Wahlgren, CEO 3gamma

3gamma is today celebrating its 7th anniversary since the foundation in 2008. To mark this event, we took the opportunity to interview CEO and co-founder Peter Wahlgren about the company’s development to where 3gamma is today and our future visions.

Seven years, can you tell us the story of 3gamma? Where did you get the inspiration to start the company and how has it evolved?

We had a very clear understanding of a gap that we saw existed in the market. There wasn’t one single provider who could support the large IT organisations with experience and practical advice on how to get the best out of IT. We founded 3gamma on a number of clear principles and values that still holds true today. During the years we have come to explicitly express our raison d´être as Great business deserves great IT®. However – the sentiment was there from day one.

What are some of the big challenges that have affected the business and what trends do you see influencing 3gamma going forward?

Our clients are in the midst of a digital revolution. Almost every company in every industry is facing an increased pressure from digitalisation. They face extremely disruptive volatile technical development, while still being required to keep lights-on and deliver high-quality IT services. This is the complexity we are supporting them with. We provide industry leading insights, independent advisory and consulting expertise. We have fortunately been able to attract some of the best people in the field and have a strong culture of knowledge sharing. This enables us to continue to grow and build success stories with our clients.

What do you think positions 3gamma for success amongst its competitors?

Our people are the heart of our business. We believe that our focus and domain expertise set us apart. We believe that in today’s business environment, being a generalist is not good enough. To support our client in their digitalisation journeys and to secure their ongoing IT operations, functional and industry expertise are required. Our focus on IT management, coupled with our independence and neutrality, enables us to be a trust-worthy and knowledgeable advisor to our clients. Simply put, it enables us to assist our clients with their most business-critical IT management challenges.

What’s your long-term vision for 3gamma?

Internally we describe our vision as ”Recognised as the leading professional services firm in our markets – valued for our knowledge, independence and pragmatic approach to make our clients excel in IT management.” It might sound a bit generic, but when you add our unique mix of niche, culture and neutrality it really tells a strong message. Currently, we are close to filling this strong position in Sweden. Over time I see us becoming the advisors of choice across the Nordics as well as in the UK. And who knows, we might have a few tricks up our sleeve that may come as surprises…3gamma is today celebrating its 7th anniversary since the foundation in 2008. To mark this event, we took the opportunity to interview CEO and co-founder Peter Wahlgren about the company’s development to where 3gamma is today and our future visions.

Thank you very much Peter, we’re very happy to be part of 3gamma’s journey onwards.
