ABOUT MARK LINDBLOM

I enjoy helping people.I am guided by my principles which I believe are quite straightforward. Always treat everyone with respect and as you would like to be treated yourself. If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say it. Show up on time, whether it be for a conference call, appointment but especially for a social event… being punctual is a Scandi trait – but I’m not perfect!In my teens I was obsessed by photography, spending hours in the darkroom developing films, printing photos, experimenting, always trying to improve my techniques and become more creative… in fact, I was hoping photography was going to be my career.Fast forward a few years, fresh out of university with the aforementioned aspirations a distant memory, I ended up in a world I knew very little about.I started in support, nervously waiting for the red light on the hotline phone to flash on the wall not knowing what problems I would have to solve over the phone for the customers… I had no idea that would be the start of my journey in the world of software – and it has been a fantastic journey meeting & working with some great people.Was it my ambition to end up on sales? Not really, but I do enjoy it immensely and it is very rewarding to have helped countless people & companies solve their problems in my career. Focus on customer success has been instilled in me since my first day in support. I thrive on helping people, whether it be family, friends, colleagues, customers, or raising money for a charity - that is very fulfilling.And what is even more fulfilling is spending time with my family in the great outdoors… be it camping in the woods, at our summer house in the Finnish archipelago, at sea on a boat (btw my father is 4th generation naval architect. oops, guess I broke that tradition) or up the mountains with skis on. And I do like to socialise… ideally with a glass of red wine in my hand
