With over two decades in the tech industry, I've worked in telecom, consulting, multiplayer game platforms, and mobile gaming, spending the last 12 years at King. I love leading teams and creating collaborative and inclusive environments.

​

A lifelong nature enthusiast, my concern for climate change deepened after a transformative presentation by meteorologist Martin Hedberg. This inspired me to pivot my career towards fighting climate change.

​

My mission is to create games for a sustainable future, using my tech skills and leadership experience to raise awareness and inspire action against climate change.

I have been a software developer throughout my entire career, starting in 1999. Over the years, I've explored various fields, including contracting, telecom, fintech, and online poker. Eventually, I returned to my roots in gaming, spending the last decade at King.
This journey has taught me what truly motivates me: working with people and teams, striving for excellence, and making a difference.

​

Teamwork has been a cornerstone of my life since my youth, inspired by great mentors in the world of sports. This experience shaped my approach to teamwork and leadership, which I now apply daily and as an agile coach.

When it comes to making a difference, I am passionate about contributing to environmental sustainability. Merging this commitment with the fun and creativity of the gaming industry is a perfect fit for me.

I grew up with a love of video games ever since I was young and figuring out how to play games from dos prompt off 3.5" floppy disks. Now approaching 20 years working on video games, I've worked on a variety of titles across platforms - from console MOBAs and PC MMOS, to casual and mid-core mobile games. In 2019, I moved to Sweden and joined King, where I gained a lot of experience in building successful mobile games on Candy Crush Saga and Candy Crush Soda Saga.

My biggest passion in the industry is building things players really enjoy. I love seeing players get excited about the games they play and want to contribute more of that feeling to the world.

As a millennial and someone working in tech, I feel the growing despair about the future of our world arising in people my age and younger. I'm happy to be a part of Green Leap Games, where I can combine my passion for creating fun experiences with my desire to encourage sustainability and help combat climate change by providing players information and inspiration in a fun way.

I have always loved to draw and being creative since I was a kid.
Since 2012 I have been working at King and been part of the Candy Crush team and seen it grow from a small team to a Billion dollar IP.

At King I had the great opportunity to work with amazing talented people and had the chance for a while to lead the artists in the Candy Crush team as an Art lead and Line manager.

​

Growing up in a small mountain village in the northern part of Sweden I have always loved spending time in nature and feel strongly for the climate.

I strongly believe that there is still hope for this planet and that we all can contibute for a change.

That´s why I´m so excited to being part of Green Leap Games where we want to make our players more engaged in the climate by playing our games.
