Artikel | article Q | What is your background? A | I have spent 30 years at the borderline between sales and marketing, primarily at FMCG. I have wor- ked as Trade Marketing Manager at several different companies and as National Sales Manager at L’Oréal Sverige AB. Along the way I have worked as CEO and run a consultancy company focusing on educating or- ganizations and people within sales. Q | What are your main responsibilities at Syversen? A | My primary responsibility is to develop the Sales Team and sales in Denmark, Finland, the Baltics and Sweden. Q | Why have you chosen to continue your career at Syversen? A | After having worked in consultancy in the past few years, I longed to go back to my roots working with strong, exciting life style brands and retail. Syversen’s long history, its ability to think long-term and its values concerning cooperation appeal strongly to me. Now I look forward to becoming a part of the team and meet the customers together with the rest of the team.

A | Quality is always important, and today quality is strongly associated with sustainability in many di- mensions. The way we consume information today also makes individual adaptations of brand messages essential. I truly believe in a strong future for brands that can combine this with a strong story. Growth will also come through structured partnerships between brands and retailers. At Syversen we are already far along in areas of logistics and flow of goods, and we will of course continue to improve further. We also look forward to continuing helping our customers with cross selling and sales growth. MODEBRANCHEN. | ISSUE NO 04 JUL/AUG 2018 | 121
