"The sixth generation consists of around 30 individuals, and most of them have expressed a desire to contribute to the family's work in some form", writes Wallenberg Investments.

In 2025, the following changes are proposed in the sphere, in addition to the additions in Investor and EQT: Stéphanie Gandet is proposed as a board member of the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, Siri Sachs is proposed as a board member of Wallenberg Investments AB, Tessa Pilkington is proposed as a board member of Nineteen Private Capital AB, and Elsa Wallenberg Esser will start working at the Wallenberg Foundations.

Furthermore, around ten other members of the sixth generation have been involved in activities related to the family as adjunct members of both company and foundation boards, according to Wallenberg Investments.

"We are grateful that many from the sixth generation want to engage in activities related to the family – within both business, the foundations, and family work", write Jacob, Marcus, and Peter Wallenberg – the cousins who have led the sphere for a while – in a joint comment.

"We are delighted that their commitment to these activities continues to grow, as well as in the work of developing our network and value base", they add.
