Born 1973 in Stockholm, grew up in Örnsköldsvik and with family roots in Tornedalen, I now live

and work in Nyköping not far from Stockholm. Married since four years to amazing Karoline and

father to Viggo (born 2008) and Hedda (born 2010). It sure sounds like a cliché but they are my

everything.

 

I work as a strategist at Sörmland Regional Council, which has its office in Nyköping. My main

focus at the regional council so far has been public transport (in a regional context/perspective),

i.e. strategic development at system level and coordination of ownership issues. The challenge is

to create a public transport system that is attractive to the traveler so that he or she choose

public transport, train or bus, instead of taking the car. But I'm increasingly involved in other

types of projects related to business and tourism.
