The Nobel Kräftskiva
And so, the yearly kräftskiva with my old ensemble from the year of Alfred Nobel has come to an end. This year we spent at my family’s beach house in Träslövsläge, and what a great time we had! Lots of games, laughter, and even a high quality tournament a la “Robinson 2021”. Of course, myContinue reading “The Nobel Kräftskiva”
El Catrin Destilería | Toronto
It was during 2017 that I found this place, El Catrin Destilería. On a vacation/preparation trip for me moving to Canada and attend Brock University, we ended up in Toronto.

Founded in 1994, Blender’s In the Grass have since then offered high quality juices, smoothies, and bowls to its customers in the Santa Barbara region.

ItContinue reading “Blender’s In the Grass | Santa Barbara”
Swedol Invitational 2021
Today I had the honor of being invited to attend Swedol Invitational 2021. It’s a golf tournament that plays every year at Hulta Golfclub, hosted by my dad. Barely escaping the rain, we managed to drag ourselves around all 18 holes. I can’t say that my game was very impressive, but we had a goodContinue reading “Swedol Invitational 2021”
Understanding Captario & Pharma Portfolio Management – With the Help of the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Since starting at Captario, I have been introduced into a world I had very little previous knowledge about, the pharma industry. Although learning new things every day, I still haven’t be able to formulate my standard response to whenever somebody asks me “Where do you work?” So I thought I would try explaining it inContinue reading “Understanding Captario & Pharma Portfolio Management – With the Help of the Marvel Cinematic Universe”
