I have been working at Starbreeze since it was founded in 1998. I am a self-taught programmer by heart, but during later years I have been focusing more and more on game design.

I have been in the industry since 1996, starting with working on the production of games, but for the last six years have mainly worked with the business side and management. I worked at DICE between 2001 and the end of 2004 during the time Battlefield 1942 was produced. Since then I have been running a two-man consultancy company which helps Nordic developers do better business by assisting them with sales and connections but also business strategies and advice. For example, I helped the SGA winner of 205, Atomic Elbow, to get a contract with the publisher Sierra Online and get on the Xbox 360 platform with the Xbox Live Arcade game Switchball (called Crazy Ball in the SGA competition). I feel very strongly for the Nordic region as a game development community and have been a great believer in and supporter of SGA since it first started. This year I am the chairman of the group which reviews the games sent to the Nordic Game Program that gives out grants to different Nordic projects and also on the board of the Swedish developer association Spelplan.
