Jag har haft förmånen att arbeta med Carl-Johan i hans roll som utvecklare av och linjeledare för Kulturprojektlinjen på Skurupsfolkhögskola. Carl-Johan har en ovanlig förmåga att locka fram det bästa hos andra. Hans ledarskap präglas av det bästa som inkludering och delaktighet kan ge. Han är öppen och lyhörd, samtidigt som han inte släpper ansvaret för att driva verksamheten framåt. Han lyckas med konsten att kombinera kreativitet med struktur och tydlighet. Att få jobba med Carl-Johan är att utvecklas. Tillsammans.

During the last two/three years I have had the pleasure of working with Carl-Johan on several projects. The latest and greatest has been related to the deployment and implementation of Portrait Campaign Manager in Samlerhuset Group. Carl-Johan is thorough and conscientious in his work. He is good at communicating with different levels within (or outside) a company. One of the qualities I have valued the most is his ability to think outside the box and find good solutions. Should I get the opportunity to work with Carl-Johan in the future I'd been looking forward to it.

      Director of the SVT series " The World Is Yours". A journalistic TV production about Romani activism in different parts of the world. As a director I worked very consciously against common Romani stereotypes. I put together a mixed team of professionals with both Swedish and Romani background, and together we tried to find stories that provided both inspiration and empowerment.

      "A better life" was the first TV production in Sweden that went deeper into the situation of poor EU-citizens that often begs in the streets. Through the serie we get a better and broader understanding of how the situation came to be, how the Swedish government tries to handle the situation and how it is perceived from a roma perspective - on the other side of the welfare system. The series of 5 episodes also documents the life and struggles in an illegal camp in the center of Malmö until the inevitable eviction of the approximately 200 inhabitants.

      The business intelligence department of Samlerhuset Group consisted of four people who had the responsibility to provide the whole company group with decision making support, for example sales reports, statistic analysis and also provide the tools to retrieve this information. As a member of the group my tasks included identifying, extracting, and analysing business data. During this time I also became responsible for the implementation of a new CRM system that was being put in use in all of the group countries. My tasks were mainly that of a project manager but because of my knowledge of the sales philosophies in the business as well as programming and SQL, I soon became involved in the practical adaptation and system design.
