He serves as a Board Member at Sourcepoint. He served as a Board Member at SVCA, Flower & Bedrock. He is also an Angel Investor. He also serves as Director at Qapital. He also serves as a Board Member at Bloglovin'. He has some twenty years of venture capital experience under his belt and the scars to prove it having lived through the dot com days. Over the years, PJ has been fortunate to work with some of the most prominent internet entrepreneurs coming out of the Nordics such as Daniel Ek, Martin Lorentzon, Jonas Nordlander, Kristofer Arwin, Sorosh Tavakoli, and many more. In September 2013, he received the "Investor of the Year" award at the InvestorAllstars gala in London, considered as the Oscars of the European Venture Capital community. He is a classic early-stage guy. He gets his kicks out of investing in really big and disruptive ideas. He spends most of his attention on media, consumer internet, and fintech. This explains why he has led the investments and serves on the Board of Directors of companies such as hyper-growth mobile advertising company Widespace. Back in the late eighties, he joined the corporate ranks of McKinsey & Co. in Europe and in the US, serving clients within the telecom, technology, and consumer goods industries, and consequently became good at writing PowerPoint presentations. To his defense, he subsequently pulled off some real entrepreneurial stints, like managing the turnaround of a fish distribution business, as well as building Europe's first Internet incubator, Cell Ventures. He holds an MBA from Stockholm School of Economics and Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi in Milan. He serves as a Board Member at fuboTV. He served on the Board of Spotify.
