Cronstedt was born into the Swedish-speaking Finnish Cronstedt family [fi] in Helsinki, Finland.[4] His paternal grandfather Jean Cronstedt [fi] (né Galindo) was the CEO of the Union Bank of Finland, and through him Cronstedt is partly of Spanish descent.[5][6] In 1940, during World War II, he was sent to Sweden as a Finnish war child. He later returned to Helsinki and went to study in the United States. Cronstedt later moved to Sweden and acquired Swedish citizenship.[1]
