Nationality: Swedish
Age: 42
Role in This Mission: Team Leader for ports Cape Town, Singapore, Rio de Janeiro, Galway, Stockholm
Special Expertise: Wireless Local Area Networks – ensuring bandwidth and availability in obscure locations, where challenges range from the threat of elephants bumping into access points to secret service officials blocking the network frequency
Life Experience: “I like to push the limits outside of the office. I have a passion for street car racing. It is a bit dangerous, but it also requires large amounts of skill and the ability to react intuitively – even when you’re going at high speed.”
Ideal for This Mission: Intense dedication to get the job done, a sense of when to take calculated risks, and a finely-tuned skill for out-of-the-box problem solving
Why Take on This Mission?
“It feels quite unbelievable to be able to travel around the world, delivering IT for the Volvo Ocean Race. It is very different compared to sitting in the car, driving to the office each morning. I have had moments during the late nights and heavy preparations where I thought, 'we will never make this in time'. But, what attracts me to this mission is the feeling you get when you realize, 'yes, we will succeed.'
