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 worked at COS for nine years, then moved to the audiobook industry, where I’ve worked for seven years to expand my views. Now I feel it’s a good time to come back and bring new experience 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.

I have an exceptionally acute sense of smell. While it offers little practical benefit, the drawback is that it makes me acutely aware of unpleasant 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?

I’ve worked on both front-end and back-end development, but I’ve often relied on others for the visual design. If my design skills were stronger, I’d be 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!
