Daniel Friberg (born 1978) is a Swedish businessman, publisher, and writer, and a leading figure of the Swedish neo-fascist movement and global alt-right movements.[1][2][3][4] He is the CEO and co-founder (in 2010) of Arktos Media.[5] He co-founded the AltRight Corporation with American white supremacist Richard Spencer in 2017[6] but severed ties in May 2018.[7][third-party source needed] He is a former CEO of the mining company Wiking Mineral.[8]

At the head of an international far-right media, literature, and music empire, Friberg is influenced in particular by the "metapolitical" strategy of the French Nouvelle Droite ("New Right"), defined by Guillaume Faye as the "social diffusion of ideas and cultural values for the sake of provoking profound, long-term, political transformation."[9] Scholar Benjamin R. Teitelbaum has described Arktos Media as the "uncontested global leader in the publication of English-language Nouvelle Droite literature."[10]
