DESCRIPTION:
(from Viaplay US's web site, November 2025) At 35, Jan Stenbeck appears to have it all: a prestigious career at Morgan Stanley, a glamorous life in New York, and a budding romance with American socialite Merrill McCloud. But when tragedy strikes his family in Sweden, he is thrust into a leadership role at Kinnevik, the family’s esteemed industrial group. What follows is a high-stakes battle between tradition and innovation, as Jan’s visionary ideas clash with his siblings’ conservative approach. His relentless ambition reshapes the Nordic media and telecom landscape - breaking Sweden’s telephone monopoly and launching TV3, Scandinavia’s first commercial channel. His bold strategies don’t just transform the Nordic market, they influence global players, inspiring Rupert Murdoch’s Sky TV model and laying the groundwork for Vodafone’s rise. However, his meteoric ascent comes at a cost. Haunted by loneliness and strained family ties, Jan’s life is as tumultuous as it is transformative. Vanguard is the story of a visionary who revolutionised modern media but paid a personal price for his groundbreaking impact. |
