I have been working in Bland for 3 years now. In those 3 years I have had the chance to work with and learn from Skorri. He is very smart and quick to see possibilities in every corner. In IT, UX/UI and graphic he has great experience and a good eye for right design and function. Furthermore, he is very analytical and precise but at the same time the perfect entrepreneur. To see the bigger picture, aswell as breaking it up in reasonable small parts is a great skill of his which is important in a quick developing company. Bland is only a small part of his achievements and projects. He has multiple other ideas and companies in development. So it is safe to say, Skorri is the perfect multi talent and handling every part with reason and skills. To summarize, he is a great organizer, has quick to spot out possibilities for companies to grow, has a broad network, ambitious but human.
