Previous experience
I co-founded Bzzt – a mobility service transporting people and goods in inner cities using small, light electric vehicles. During my time at Bzzt, we went from a PowerPoint to creating more than 800 jobs over 8 years, set a Swedish crowdfunding record, went through two corporate restructurings, enabled hundreds of thousands of fossil-free trips, faced multiple bankruptcy threats, and completed a reverse acquisition. I have seen both the highs and the lows of building a company, which has given me enormous respect for the hard work required to run a start-up.
