Rikard is a pragmatic very structured, motivated person who wants to give his best to his employees. He has mentored me during our project and was very helpful during our cooperation. He is genuinely interested in helping me to grow and develop as an employee and is open for new ideas and suggestions regarding business. His personality says: nothing is impossible! Whenever I have questions or concerns, Rikard responds right away—and even follows up later in the week to make sure my issues have been resolved. His strength lies in capturing a big picture. He generously gives positive energy to the people in his surroundings and creates high performing teams by seeing, listening to and inspiring his team members. I give Rikard my best recommendations!

ABE Partners assisted me with domain solutions and monitoring and Rikard was my key contact. Rikard is professional, personable and service-minded. He consistently takes the initiative to provide expert advice and alerts us to take timely actions on domains that strengthen Haglöfs' portfolio. During the time working with him, we created a domain strategy that now guides business decisions and costs. I am able to count on Rikard and recommend him and ABE's services.

      In 2013, I co-founded ABE Partners, a Malmö-based domain name management and brand protection provider together with Viktor Berglund from IP Dots and two other very talented people. This start-up, as well as my many previous years in the domain name industry, taught me a great deal about communicating with clients, fulfilling client needs and how to manage projects and people – not to mention starting a successful business. At IP Dots, I focus on managing the company’s finances. And I am responsible for accounting, treasury, compensations, pricing, budget forecasts and sales forecasts for the company. I also deal with corporate and operational management, and I act as a project manager, responsible for complicated technical and administrative consolidation projects for domain names and DNS, as well as trouble-shooting and technical support for the company in general. Additionally, I help coordinate launches of websites or a new e-mailing system for clients, and I am in charge of ordering and installing SSL certificates.

      Through my seven-year career within the domain name industry I have gained valuable experience and insight in which forces optimize online strategies for my clients. The key for optimizing a successful domain name portfolio is; to focus on the domain names that are assets in the perspective of offering protection for key brands, and actually drive traffic to corporate websites. My view is that the industry is still in a developing phase; meaning that there is a gap between the providers selling domain names, and clients needing to protect and market their brands. With ABE Partners, we have taken a unique position on the Swedish market, being completely independent from suppliers and registrars, meaning that we can focus entirely on the benefit for our clients, by selling objective advice on how to succeed with your brand online instead of maximising irrelevant domain portfolios.ABE had a successful first year and today work with clients as Vasakronan and Indutrade, found on the OMXS Stockholm stock exchange.
