Bio
Cecilia Ölmedal
It’s been very nice working with Jonathan. He’s a team player who constantly shows dedication to his work responsibilities and who also will go beyond the call of his duties to enable success. While only having limited time in Sweden, Jonathan has increased his knowledge and Swedish language skills progressively which enables him to conduct business with a larger customer base. His strong strategic management skills were very beneficial to planning and improving company branding and opportunity. I would definitely recommend Jonathan and it would be a pleasure to work with him again.

I met Jonathan shortly after joining Ernst & Young. He quickly demonstrated his technical skills as well as his ability to communicate effectively in a group setting. He gets along well with clients and co-workers and always strives to deliver strong work products. He seeks feedback and constanty strives to see how he can improve his job performance. He is the type of professional that enables E&Y to deliver quality client service.
