HealthTextiles investor Ulf Pettersson passed away on 17 February 2026
As background, in the beginning of 1999, Tomas led an external consulting
assignment as Management Consultant at Ericsson Business Consulting to create a
strategic framework for Information Highway and CEO Göran Wågström with the
following result:
”The top-performing stock of 1999 was the company Information Highway. Its share
price soared by 2,197 percent during the year, following, among other things, the
divestment of its software division to further increase its focus on its business as an
internet consultancy.”

As a result, in beginning of 2000, Tomas started as Business Developer for Ulf
Pettersson, President at Information Highway Sweden, to focus on small acquisitions
in Sweden. One of two Swedish companies that Ulf and Tomas acquired is now a
consulting company on the Swedish stock market with more than SEK 1 billion in
revenues. This shows the result of Ulf and Tomas successful teamwork.
Tomas has kept in touch with Ulf for 26 years until he passed away.
A few days before Ulf passed away, Ulf sent a text message to Tomas.
We are sharing the text message to show what a fantastic man Ulf was:
”Hi Tomas,
I haven’t been in touch for a long time.
I am very ill now and have been since the turn of the year, as the doctors have
decided to stop all treatments.
I just want to say that I am impressed by your fantastic drive and patience.
Thank you for all the fun and interesting conversations. I am convinced that
things will go well for both you and the company.
Take care.”
Our deepest condolences to Ulf Petterssons wife Helena, their children and his family
& friends.
