About

Give me a task and I will solve it; one way or another. Worked with sales and coaching and leadership in SEBs Branch Office network for ten years and four years with strategic business development for four within the same bank. Have also pursued sales and business development at Spotlight Stock Market in Sweden and Finland (site responsible). SEB Manager, Private Markets of the year 2011, nominated as dito in 2012. Nominated as Advisior of the year in 2009. Holder of the first place in SEBs internal, annual sells driven ranking "Marathon" 2009 and 2010, but changed roles both years before the completion of the event. SEB Kista was the Branch Office of the year in 2008 and 2010. Took part in Novare's (Investor) mentor internship for promising high potentials 2011 with Lena Hofsberger as main mentor. The Sollentuna office became runner up in Branch Office of the Year for SEB as a whole in 2014 and became dito for the same year. As head of a project with the aim to increase savings when subscribing to a mortgage, my awesome team came up with a refined process that increased sales with 950%. Given the above, it was a given to become a full time soldier at the age of 45. 🤷 Three quotes with a twist that I really identify with: "Nicht Kleckern sondern Klotzen!" - Heinz Guderian, General der Panzertruppen "Just do it." - Nike, Sports brand "Don't try." - Charles Bukowski, American poet
