What is your most important driving force?
My most important motivator is development, both in terms of work and privately. I have a creative side which, in combination with curiosity and a desire to think in new ways, means I get energy and joy from developing ideas, especially together with other people.
What makes you laugh?
I find dad jokes amusing, as well as ”Gothenburg-jokes” (A special brand of humor, where jokes are often based around Swedish puns and plays on words – not too different from dad jokes, actually!). Swedish comedian Johan Glans is also funny.
