Bio
Gunnar Näsman
I met Christian in the early stages of the Banana adventure as a start-up coach. I think it is obvious for anyone who spend any time with Christian that he's got it. That drive, ambition and grit it takes not only to start a business adventure but to keep on going... and going... and going. What has struck me with Christian is his combination of being a kind human being combined with the a clear CEO and founder's mind where he always balances the creative and the business aspects that is necessary for building and running a business. Like when he was facing the Covid-19 lock down and decided to cut his losses and close a newly opened shop. Not because it felt good but because it was the right thing to do. Needles to say Banana quickly raised capital and moved on to an other incubator and a part from enjoying the very nice products we have kept the dialogue going and I have also been coaching Banana on different occasions since.

Christian is fundamentally an all around good guy. A highly competent entrepreneur with a great vision and a go getter attitude. Although his track record is already impressive, I am absolutely convinced that the best is still to come
