Anders Colstrup
For more than thirty years, he has worked with Scandinavian and internationally operating organisations to strengthen leadership, develop executive teams and build sustainable performance cultures. He is the Founder and CEO of Astronaut, and his work combines insights from business, psychology and elite sports – always with a clear focus on people and their potential.
Early in his career, he recognised that real success is not driven solely by strategy or competence, but by how people communicate, collaborate and align around a shared purpose. Since then, he has supported organisations of varying sizes and contexts in clarifying culture, developing leadership and achieving measurable results through stronger collaboration and teamwork.
As a coach and advisor, he works closely with leaders operating under high demands and in complex environments. His coaching creates space for reflection and personal development, enabling leaders to clarify their values, become aware of blind spots and lead with both authenticity and confidence.
In parallel, his experience in elite sports has shaped his understanding of performance under pressure. Through work with national and international teams, he has seen how success is built on trust, clarity and shared motivation – insights that translate directly into executive teams and organisational settings.
He is known for his ability to work closely – to challenge and support at the same time. By combining empathy with clarity, he helps individuals and teams release energy, strengthen motivation and create lasting change.
Through Astronaut, he continues to support organisations and leaders in reaching their full potential – creating clarity where complexity prevails and reconnecting with purpose where it may have been lost. Ultimately, success is always about people – their sense of connection, courage and shared belief in what is possible.
