I have an extensive background within management, sales and business development. I am based in Stockholm, Sweden with present focus at Scandinavia (Nordics) and Baltics. Previously, I have worked much with various markets in EMEA and Asia. For many years, I have had P&L responsibity with good EBIT results and sales growth.

Main focus is on the commercial side, and to get results, I have worked in depth also with operations, contruction, IT and development of business critical tools. I have deep hand-on skills in several areas, which also included business critical systems such as SAP. I have gained a deep skillset in building up of pricing systems and to automate them.

I started out with Engineering Physics, and that has given me a capacity to solve challening issues by working through them. During my studies, I was the Student's union Chairman, which taught me how to communicate and lead very large groups of people. After that I learned Russian, and spent some time in Russia. Swedish Trade Council taught me how to think structured in a non-academic way. By working with Japanese companies I learned the power of going down to details to solve problems.

Oriflame showed me the importance of operations in a sales driven business. A failed startup - e.g. Paseedu - taught me how to do everything in a business by myself from accounting, development, sales, support, marketing, IT etc.

All these experience in my background, has shaped me to the person I am today.
