Lars stands on solid value based grounds. A person that lives his believes. Not all persons can transfer life and work experience in a true path forward. Lars can and does. Working with Lars is fun and makes yourself grow, he shares.

I had the pleasure of having Lars as my superior in Residential Development Nordic in Skanska. Lars is an inspiring leader who involves his colleagues, sets direction and makes sure everyone is working together towards common goals.
