Whether it was football, tennis, table tennis, floorball, or badminton, if it just involved something that bounced, I was drawn to it like a magnet. \u26bd\ufe0f\ud83c\udfbe\ud83c\udff8\ud83c\udfd3<\/p>\n<p><strong>And you ended up as CIO of SWIFT, can you tell us a bit about that journey? <\/strong><br \/>My career journey has been diverse, spanning roles as an employee and consultant, where I&#8217;ve served as an IT Manager, Logistics Manager, and Business Consultant. As a Business Consultant, I gained insights into various industries, learning that there&#8217;s more than one way to solve a problem. For the past 15 years, I&#8217;ve primarily held the position of CIO in senior management, where understanding the digital landscape&#8217;s potential has been key. \ud83d\udc68\ud83c\udffb\u200d\ud83d\udcbb<\/p>\n<p><strong>With three words, how would a (close) colleague describe you? <\/strong><br \/>I might not be the best person to judge, but I hope my colleagues would describe me as a team player, curious, and passionate about bringing tasks to completion. \u2714\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you love most about what you do at SWIFT?<\/strong> <br \/>What I love most about working at SWIFT is the diverse range of tasks and being part of a startup comprised of excellent colleagues. We have fun at work and tackle challenges together. \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n<p><strong>West coast or East coast?<br \/><\/strong>West coast. Despite enjoying life in Stockholm on the East Coast, my roots on the West Coast always pull me back. \u2b05\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your happy place?<br \/><\/strong>Walking in the beach forests of the Swedish West Coast in spring, just as they turn green, is like balm for my soul. That&#8217;s where I recharge. \ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf33<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apartment or house?<\/strong> <br \/>House. I love our house with a garden, but sometimes I miss the convenience of an apartment, especially being close to the city&#8217;s lively vibe. \ud83c\udfe1<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the most unusual or unconventional use of a home lift you&#8217;ve come across since joining SWIFT?<br \/><\/strong>Recently, I heard of a pinball machine enthusiast who installed a lift in their villa to transport their pinball machines between floors. \ud83c\udfb0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thumbs up, down, or somewhere in between for AI?<\/strong><br \/>Definitely thumbs up. AI holds incredible opportunities, and for SWIFT, it has led to many positive developments. However, as with any new technology, there&#8217;s always a risk of misuse, which can lead to challenges. \ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffd<\/p>\n<p><strong>Football or floorball?<\/strong> <br \/>If it&#8217;s about playing, then floorball. But these days, coaching my son&#8217;s football team brings me great joy and satisfaction. \u26bd\ufe0f\ud83c\udfd2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Life as a football coach and life as CIO at SWIFT \u2013 what are the similarities and differences?<\/strong><br \/>In both roles, the importance of teamwork is central. Success doesn&#8217;t come from having the best players but from a team that knows how to work together effectively, making the most of each member&#8217;s strengths. \ud83d\udd90\ud83c\udffd<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking at what you\u2019ve achieved so far, what are you most proud of?<\/strong> <br \/>To have been part of founding SWIFT. Building a company from scratch that now leads the home lift industry is something I\u2019m very proud of. \ud83d\udd28<\/p>\n<p><strong>Swedish Semla or Waffle? <br \/><\/strong>Swedish semla is unbeatable in February, but for the rest of the year, waffles, especially in a ski lodge, might just take the lead. \ud83e\uddc7<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your most precious thing in your life? <br \/><\/strong>Time \u2013 try to value every moment, whether at work or at leisure. But it\u2019s easy to forget. \u231b\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think is the most important in your work at SWIFT?<\/strong> <br \/>Maintaining a holistic view of SWIFT&#8217;s operations and identifying opportunities for digital disruption are vital for our continued success. \ud83d\udd2e<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does a normal workday look like?<br \/><\/strong>My workday starts with a cup of coffee. In the morning, I collaborate with our colleagues in Asia and partners. The afternoon is dedicated to working with our SWIFT European team and suppliers on various projects. \ud83c\udf0f\ud83c\udf0d<\/p>\n<p><strong>One thing you cannot live without at work?<br \/><\/strong>I don&#8217;t really function without coffee. \u2615\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you like the most about the SWIFT home lift?<br \/><\/strong>I appreciate the SWIFT home lift&#8217;s environmental friendliness, especially its smart charging feature on the way down. \ud83d\udd0b<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips from the coach to someone dreaming of working with what you do?<br \/><\/strong>Remember, in IT, teamwork and human connections are key. Success comes from blending technology with business goals and building strong teams. \ud83c\udfa8<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s on your bucket list?<br \/><\/strong>Walk on the Great Wall of China. \ud83e\uddf1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Future dreams?<br \/><\/strong>To own a seaside holiday home. \ud83c\udfda\ud83c\udf0a<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your favorite means of movement (besides SWIFT)?<br \/><\/strong>Electric and battery-powered transport vehicles. My visit to Shanghai last fall opened my eyes to the advanced state of battery-powered transport there, inspiring hope for achieving our climate goals. (This, of course, applies to SWIFT&#8217;s home lifts as well.) \ud83d\ude0a<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-720031201 {\n  font-size: 1.5rem;\n  color: rgb(30, 98, 122);\n}\n#text-720031201 > * {\n  color: rgb(30, 98, 122);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-12164797 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-12164797 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 50px 50px 50px 50px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1115571781 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"parent":16158,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-transparent-header.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-25982","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>SWIFT Portrait - Anders - SWIFT - 100% battery driven home lifts<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/swiftlifts.com\/da\/swift-people\/swift-portrait-anders\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"da_DK\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"SWIFT Portrait - Anders\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/swiftlifts.com\/da\/swift-people\/swift-portrait-anders\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SWIFT - 100% battery driven home lifts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/swifthomelifts\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimeret l\u00e6setid\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"5 minutter\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/swiftlifts.com\\\/da\\\/swift-people\\\/swift-portrait-anders\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/swiftlifts.com\\\/da\\\/swift-people\\\/swift-portrait-anders\\\/\",\"name\":\"SWIFT Portrait - Anders - SWIFT - 100% battery driven home lifts\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/swiftlifts.com\\\/da\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-06-04T05:50:35+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/swiftlifts.com\\\/da\\\/swift-people\\\/swift-portrait-anders\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"da-DK\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/swiftlifts.com\\\/da\\\/swift-people\\\/swift-portrait-anders\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/swiftlifts.com\\\/da\\\/swift-people\\\/swift-portrait-anders\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/swiftlifts.com\\\/da\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"SWIFT People\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/swiftlifts.com\\\/da\\\/swift-people\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"SWIFT Portrait &#8211;
