Bio
Thomas Skou Dale
I have worked with Thorbjørn for several years as a customer (Elkjøp Nordic), first at Namco, then at Nordic Game Supply. I have learned to know Thorbjørn as a straight through honest businesspartner. This has over the years been a great value to me. Whenever there was a challenge, Thorbjørn does his best to solve the issue, every time. Nobody is perfect, but what defines you, is what you do when you fix the problem. Because of this, I see Thorbjørn as an important reason for my businesssuccess over the years. Thorbjørn delivers professionally in all aspects from a retail-perspective. Also when it comes to personal relations, Thorbjørn is a great guy. Easy to talk to, and always in a good mood. I will recommend Thorbjørn for almost any position, and certainly in one where customer-relations are important.

Thorbjorn and I have been working as partners in the Norwegian entertainment industry for several years. Based on the events we have run together and watching how he interacts and works with his partners and the feedback I get from them, I see him as very accountable, professional and ambitious while at the same time being very reasonable. Having worked independently and running Norway on his own thru all these years, he has a very in-depth knowledge across several capabilities that one would never obtain by working only in a sales role. As a person Thorbjorn is honest, respectful and outgoing and has plenty of integrity. I can only give him my strongest recommendations.
