"I believe in luck and the harder I work the closer I get to luck."
Background
Being an entrepreneur, taking on challenges, and solving world problems like the digital divide, draw me to taking the CEO position at Radio Innovation.
After working in both, developing countries and in mature countries, I recognize the crucial challenge of affordable connectivity. I would be glad even if we could make a small contribution to its progress.

There are three qualities I value the most - competency, integrity and perseverance. I trust that the people I choose in my team have a what it takes, bring value with their hard work, and have the passion to not give up until they reach their goals.
I believe one should think fast and always embrace change.
"Before a battle, planning is everything. Once the fighting has begun, it’s worthless."
Background
I have always loved working in environments characterised by rapid growth and transformation.
After my international experience with start-ups, M&A and due diligence, I worked as a management consultant for EY and held C-level positions as CFO & COO. My telecom journey started at 3GIS, during the rollout of the 3G-net.

Challenges inspire me, they make me grow. As a person I'm determined and stubborn, but at the same time social and without prestige.
Competing is a lifestyle for me, hence losing is not an option, neither in sports nor in quizzes.
"When in doubt, zoom out."
Background
Coming form a background of business and informatics, I have been working internationally between US, Asia and Europe, exploring and adapting to unique cultures around the world.
I learned early on, that great minds can achieve even greater things together - which also attracted me to telecom. After realising how many people are excluded from the digital ecosystem in the golden age of innovation and the difference inclusion could make, joining Radio Innovation was an easy choice.

You will never know the strength you have, unless you push yourself to do the very best. I take pride in what I do, and always strive to go the extra mile.
It's important to stay kind and have a positive outlook, because every storm runs out of rain, just like every dark night turns into day.
"When you are traveling a lot, you see a perfect world of pools and bars, but if you take a step aside, you discover the real world people live in."
Background
I've been working with base station antennas since -86, my whole life with antennas -designing antennas, building, producing and measuring antennas. Everything with antennas. I think it is interesting because you learn new things every day.
I like to be a part of something that works for equality of people. I’m enjoying to work in our international company and for people of all kind of different cultures. I have a strong feeling against excluding people based on where they are coming from.

I spend vacations in my summer house south of Sweden. It is a hideaway since lack of connectivity in this area.
"You need to have an ethical side."
Background
Getting results is what drives me. People often say that is difficult, but I have a knack for showing that it's really not. I believe in Radio Innovation. It has value. I think the technology is brilliant thanks to its simplicity.

It is like an adventure setting up something new, going to a greenfield operation. I love challenges. Apart from that I'd love to go skiing, when there is no longer Covid, abroad. The Swedish slopes are too short and not as steep either - on the private side - finding this huge slopes and taking the on is the challenge.
