Vikand’s Peter Hult named honorary consul
Peter Hult, CEO of maritime healthcare solutions provider Vikand, has been elected honorary consul of Sweden to the state of Florida. Collaborative by design, the honorary consul— a post appointed by the Swedish foreign minister—provides assistance to Swedes in Florida and to foreign nationals pursuing interests in Sweden.
Hult lives in Florida and travels the globe to promoting sustainable healthcare for seafarers worldwide. He co-founded Vikand in 2009. Its slogan, “We can because we care” comes directly from the Swedish, “vi kan”. The addition of the “d” in the brand indicates the sense of urgency as fulfilled by the company—on demand.
Hult co-founded and served as the first president of the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm. (cj)
