About

Technical co-founder and software engineer with 10+ years of experience in software development and leadership roles. My experience ranges from optimising crew scheduling for airlines to founding and scaling a startup from idea to exit. Together with 2 co-founders we created Acamp, a platform that helps people find and book camping spots in Europe, taking it from presentation slides up until the acquisition process. Looking for ambitious innovators to join forces and create something amazing.

Work Experience

Acamp
Stockholm, Sweden
Nov 2020 - Present

CTO and co-founder

Acamp is a platform that helps people find and book camping spots in Europe, connecting campers with landowners and small businesses Hosts. I was responsible for the technical strategy and product development, leading our engineering teams. I was actively coding in all our codebases (FE, BE, iOS and Android), but mostly in the backend. In 2022 we acquired Stellplatz, the most popular community-driven app for campers in Scandinavia. Acamp is currently going through an acquisition and I'm now looking for my next big thing.

Head of Software Engineering

I started as Head of CRM and after a few months I also became Head of SEO. Due to my technical expertise (and interest!) I later joined our engineering team as Head of Software Engineering. The company was focused on human-curated travel deals. After Covid-19 I decided to look for opportunities in other industries, which led me to Sweden.

Marketing Technology Manager

I started on the early days of a new company vertical that later became Pmweb Marketing Services. I managed a 25-people team responsible for designing and implementing marketing automation solutions for our clients, which included Walmart, LATAM Airlines and Lenovo. The company was partially acquired by Responsys in 2016, which was later acquired by Oracle. From 2016 to 2018 I was invited to join the Product Council for Oracle Marketing Cloud. We annually met in San Francisco to define the product roadmaps. I left the council after WPP acquired our company in 2018, since WPP has many companies that competes with Oracle. I left Pmweb in early 2019 to move to Europe.
