If there is something like "talent for good relations Björn's got it. I had the pleasure to work with Björn for about a year on several big projects in a London based company in Stockholm, Kista – the 'Silicon Valley of Scandinavia'. Being the company's Creative Hub, we developed immersive IOT ideas into launch-ready products using AR, VR and more ’traditional’ interactivity. To have Björn onboard always gave the team the strategic boost and relaxed confidence any creative team might want. Besides his great experience in marketing strategies he is an inspiring and optimistic natural leader with a great understanding of various social environments. As of cooperation between two directors I actually consider this being as good as can be. I do highly recommend Björn to any worthy company who appreciates serious experience and know-how wrapped in a great sense of humor.

Björn is a structured leader with high level of ambition and is not afraid of showing the way. I had the pleasure of working alongside Björn at M2 and reported directly to him. Björn is a business professional with experience in Business development, Sales Leadership, Marketing Strategy, New Customer Development and HR. Björn knows the value of handling both internal processes as well as external. Björn is very open minded in order to follow the market. I can highly recommend Björn for any Director position.
