Growing up

Growing up at a farm in southern Sweden I early learn what hard work means. That insight took me to the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm where I earned a Master Degree in Civil Engineering.

During my last year as a student I worked part time at an Internet start up (www.constructit.se) providing solutions for the real estate industry. I then realized what change the new technology could make. Combining that with my desire to make processes better, my path was decided - "I'll  make processes in the real estate industry more efficient using new technology". 

However, when I graduated in 1997 there were few openings in the #PropTech market. To be honest, the market hardly existed. Therefore, I spent three years at an IT & Management consulting firm called American Management Systems as a business analyst. Working in an international environment with colleagues from UK, Spain, USA, Germany, Argentina, Portugal and so on was indeed rewarding. It also taught me what it means to "work hard, play hard" and I sure liked it!

In year 2000 I was introduced to Datscha (www.datscha.com), an Internet start-up providing information services to the commercial real estate industry. Right away I knew this was what I had been looking for. I joined as Head of Product Management and played a part in creating one the most successful #PropTech companies in the Nordics. With 96% satisfied customers and a service that is world-class. Remember, I'm an engineer, so that is a fact! ;-).

After 19 years the company was in 2019 sold to the US based Real Capital Analytics and I transferred over to the former owner Stronghold Invest.
