Meet Our Team – Quick Q&A with Björn

Tell us a little bit about yourself – who are you, and what is your background?

I am 44 years old and was born and raised a little bit outside of Umeå. I have an education in computer science at Umeå University.

What caught your interest in COS Systems?

I had been working at COS for 9 years previously, but I felt I needed to expand my views a bit, and I have been working in the audiobook industry for 7 years. Now I felt it was a good time to come back and bring some other experiences and perspectives.

What are your goals for the coming months?

Getting back up to speed and bringing some good practices to improve our processes. 

Why should people contact you and press the “connect with Björn” button?

I am always up for conversations about pretty much anything!

Tell us a fun fact about yourself.

This is a real disability, but I have a very good sense of smell,  which has no practical implications, but the drawback is that you can always feel the really bad smells.

If you could swap jobs with anyone at COS Systems for a day, who would it be and why?

Björn Wännman, it would be interesting to see things from the sales side.

What’s your go-to productivity hack when things get busy?

Not really a hack but focus on a task at the time and try to ignore other things.

If you could instantly become an expert in one new skill, what would it be?

Design, I have both worked with frontend and backend development, but I always felt I had to rely on others for the actual design. If I were very good at design, I would be a lot more independent.

What’s your favorite way to unwind after a long workday?

Usually, any form of exercise does the trick. Either a run, a long walk, or maybe a visit to the gym

Lastly, what’s one word your friends or colleagues would use to describe you?

Energetic

Welcome back Björn!
