I've been playing games since 1982, which II ater turned into a long career in The Video Game Industry. Been working with data and analytics for 25 years and did the same for gaming companies where I started and led analytics and research departments for 5 of the top 10 (in revenue) gaming companies in Sweden. These are Mojang, DICE, Paradox, Avalanche and Toca Boca. Also started out working on EVE-Online in my native Iceland.
Seen the rise of the Swedish Gaming Industry from the inside and am now working with Behold Ventures finding interesting companies and opportunities to invest in within this space.
