Personal profile
I am self´-starting and creative as well as being flexible and structured in most of things I do. Many of the people I have worked
with perceive me to be prestigeless but highly focused. I am used to working as part of a team, but have also worked alone for
many years. I am perceived as having a sense of responsibility and empathy both privately and at work and am appreciated by
those who know me and work with me.
In describing me, my former boss used words such as dependable, loyal, resourceful and results-oriented. My tenure at different
companies has furnished with me with considerable breadth of expertise. I have never been afraid of making mistakes as long
as I can learn from them and I always look forward to taking on new challenges.
I have an active lifestyle and one of my favourite winter pastimes is skiing, both long-distance and downhill, in the summer I like
to play tennis and jog whenever the opportunity arises.
I live in Östermalm in Stockholm with my wife and 5-year-old daughter Vanessa.
I look forward to a personal meeting and the chance to tell you more about myself.
Yours faithfully
Jan Lindvall
