Bio

I spent the first 20 years of my career in the financial sector, mainly in merchant banking. The following six years I was the group CEO of a Swedish family-owned investment company with a focus on trading, industry and real estate. My main responsibility was to prepare the trading part of the business for an IPO which was performed in 2014. For four years, I have held the position of fundraising director at Chalmers with a focus on external relations and philanthropic fundraising. It is fair to say that the common denominator throughout my career has been and continues to be relations.
