Lasse Gustavssonlecturer and author, Soulfuel

Over many years I have gotten to know Torbjörn as a large and important customer. Great business acumen combined with clear goals laid the foundation for one of Sweden's absolute best outdoor stores. The store also became, in some form, an experience center for primarily outdoors through a new way of thinking in terms of exposure and advice regarding possible activities in the local area. Simply styling!

Mats HedblomCEO at Haglöfs

Torbjörn's way of coaching individuals and teams is first and foremost based on his genuine and curious interest in the person in question. With his solid experience in leadership and business development, he then maps exactly the right method, approach and choice of path to help us reach new heights. That separates him from the crowd (who usually start from the method first...) Coaching in its finest form!

As I know Torbjörn, he is a very driven and creative business profile with, to say the least, solid experience in running a store and creating an interesting trading location.

Mattias OlssonCEO at Omnistaff

Torbjörn's experience in entrepreneurship, customer service and building a retail business with the customer in focus is best described by the fact that his business was awarded year after year with the award Sweden's best outdoor store.

In the end, the competition was canceled due to lack of competition. That says part of what Torbjörn can convey about i.a. customer focus and drive.

Martin KösslerCEO at HuginBiz

Torbjörn quickly gives his employees areas of responsibility within which they are given room to develop skills through, for example, various training courses. He is also well aware of the importance of creating a team feeling in order to get loyal employees who thrive and stay in the organization.

In other words, Torbjörn is very good at using various incentives to get staff and the different parts of the organization to interact, which in turn leads to the entire organization being able to perform at its peak.

Recently, I have had the privilege of using Torbjörn as a mentor and business developer. He has a rare drive and an ability to see both big and small at the same time.
