Susanne Odung

Susanne Odung is the Chief Financial Officer (ekonomichef) and Head of the Finance Department at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden's largest technical university, based in Stockholm. According to her KTH profile, she has worked with financial matters within KTH since September 2002 and was appointed to her current role as CFO and department head on 1 July 2012. Her office is located at Brinellvägen 8 on the KTH main campus.

As head of the Finance Department (FO), Odung leads a function that coordinates the university's financial accounting, financial management (economic control), payment flows, budgeting, and KTH's purchasing and procurement work. The department also maintains finance-related IT systems, including budgeting and e-commerce/e-procurement platforms, and handles financial reporting for SciLifeLab. The department is organized into multiple specialist groups — including a Controller group, an Accounting group, a Procurement group, and dedicated finance groups embedded with each of KTH's five schools and the University Administration — each led by a group manager, with Maria Östman serving as Deputy Financial Director on the management team.

In recent years Odung has been publicly associated with KTH's efforts to stabilize its finances amid rising costs for electricity and rent affecting Swedish higher-education institutions. KTH intranet news items document her involvement in "intensive work to turn the economy around" and subsequent updates noting "the economy heading in the right direction." She presented on the organization and development of KTH's Finance Department at SUHF's (Association of Swedish Higher Education Institutions) autumn finance conference in November 2024.

No public source located in this research provides details of her formal education or her career prior to joining KTH in 2002.
