Charlotte Ljung is an Executive with more than 20+ years of experience in Strategy, Operations and Business Development. In addition, she holds experience in Sales, Marketing and Distribution within the Retail Industry, Consumer Goods and Hospitality.

Initially, an interior Architect (ASID, SIR) by trade, Charlotte started her career in New York where she engaged with designs and roll-outs of Brand Flagship Stores for, among others, Burberry, Tiffany and Ralph Lauren. She also guest-worked in Paris, with designer/ architect Patrick Jouin, co-designing and setting up a one-of-a-kind exhibition and showroom for Italian furniture brand Cassina as well as creating retail concepts for Yves Saint Laurent retail division.

Having gained insight from the world of Retail and Premium Consumer Goods, in 2006, Charlotte joined, as 4th generation, her family's company DUX - a Swedish household name and internationally acclaimed company producing and distributing high-end beds, furniture and home accessories. Together with her brothers, all in distinctive management roles within the business, the 96 year old company has been continously revived and today holds distribution (B2C and B2B) in some 40+ countries. Aside from the Retail Channel DUXIANA with 90+ stores worldwide, the DUX Group also includes an international Boutique Hotel concept, The DUXIANA.

In 2019 Charlotte founded Endbright.

Endbright primarily provides digital services within legal, finance and wellbeing, but also hosts a platform with content such as factual articles, webinars, podcasts and more.
