“Besides from entrepreneurship my greatest passion is sports, I have played football since I was a child but after graduation from high-school I started playing golf instead and spent an entire summer on the golf course. Furthermore, I find it extremely entertaining to follow the evolution of e-sports. After years of playing computer games as a youth I have developed a great understanding of the importance of a well structured and functioning teamplay to achieve great results.”
