Bio
Jimmy Olsson
I have worked closely with Martin over the last 10 years in various positions and during this time I have come to know him as a analytical, hands-on and pragmatic person. Martin has been responsible for several Strategic development projects, for both new business areas as well as bi-annual category strategies with great success. Martin has the ability to break down long term complex strategies to something everyone in a team can relate to and work towards! Equipped with a strong Commercial mindset Martin always delivers value to the business by setting the right short term priorities and focusing on what matters here and now. It’s a pleasure working with Martin and I can only give him my best recommendations!

Martin is a great marketeer and businesman. He has a very broad experience working within retail and category management, with everything from defining the strategy to detailed execution. Martin acknowledges the importance of understanding the needs of and how to reach the customers and building his assortment- and marketing plans accordingly. He has a very good product nose and much experience with dealing and negotiating with all kinds of suppliers. Martin can work on all levels: strategic, tactical and operational – he can facilitate and be part of larger discussions on how to move things forward but also be hands on when required. I have often used Martin for sparring and to get good advise on all kinds of matters. Martin is a very likeable person, positive and outgoing with a good sense of humour. He is ambitious, a good people manager and always willing to take upon him new responsibilities.
