Pierre has worked with online marketplaces and classified businesses since 1996. He sold Blocket.se to the Norwegian media company Schibsted (called Adevinta today) and together with them exported the online classifieds concept to several other markets, including Leboncoin in France and Subito in Italy. Pierre later invested in Propertyfinder, the largest property portal in the Middle East, and also took over as chief technology officer. Pierre joined Henrik and Filip in founding Sprints 2015. His focus is to support the portfolio companies in operations and value creation.

“I believe the best technology companies are created by the ones who set aside their own personal needs and instead fully focus on the customers. These two needs are almost always in direct contradiction: you have to suffer now to make your customers happy. More impressive offices, titles, salaries, higher valuations and optimising for the next quarter is never in the immediate interest of the customers.”

Favorite quote:

“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
