Inspire

I was born and raised in the southern parts of Sweden, in a family with strong values regarding family, entrepreneurship, and political engagement in society. Currently, I reside in Malmö. While my three kids have grown up, I still love spending time with them, as well as the rest of my family and friends.

In my professional life, I place great importance on providing my clients with the best service, but I also sometimes challenge their thoughts and considerations as we establish job requirements and subsequently discuss different candidates. I truly enjoy the challenge of new assignments and helping my clients find the best person to grow and develop their business. It's a privilege to learn about new businesses and to meet so many skilled and remarkable individuals in my job.

During my spare time, I played volleyball in the highest league several years ago. These days, I find joy in spending time in nature and I'm always up for a new challenge. In 2022, I successfully reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the world highest free-standing mountain 5895 m.a.s.l. However, nowadays, you are most likely to find me on the golf course or leading various fitness courses, which I have been doing for the past 20 years.
