About

I was described as "the least known entrepreneur on the Gothenburg startup scene". I guess it is true. I prioritise value delivery to clients, customers, and employees above all. My reputation for fostering long-term value and interests speaks volumes within my network.

My approach blends three fictional characters; Commander Data when trying his best to be human, Neo from Matrix as he is exploring and trying to understand the world he is living in and Sherlock Holmes when he is clumsily trying to explain his intense relationship with John Watson at the wedding as Benedict Cumberbatch portrayed him. I am extremely pragmatic, always finding creative ways to solve problems but I believe my super skill is to use my empathy to try to make the best of everyone. I have a passion for data driven decision making and the ability to change from a strategic mindset to a detailed view and back. And I am seldom afraid. Jumping out from an airplane or going up against a much larger opponent with a steel sword in your hand, knowing you might end up with something broken, kind of takes the edge off. I take a lot of risks but very seldom any chances.

I have started 27 companies (as of 2023-12-31) in a dozen industries in three countries with a total revenue over my professional career of more than seventy million dollars. I have interviewed well over 1,000 candidates and employed more than 160 people from every continent. I was early into several areas such as Multi-touch, Crypto Assets, Blockchain, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Remote working (before it was cool).

I am a scenario analyst at heart and scenario analysis teaches one to open up for a lot of opportunities. Running multiple parallell businesses teaches drive. Being a parent teaches focusing on the most important task at hand. Being early in new technology teaches patience. I bring experience from a variety of areas together to understand every opportunity seen from various angles and make sure that new insight will advance your business.

Specialties: Data driven decision making, negotiation, leadership, strategy, corporate governance, artificial intelligence, machine learning strategies, business culture, branding, corporate identity, employer branding, recruitment, bootstrapping startups and profitability.
