Heavy Metal Management

He began his career as a Business Intelligence Analyst with SEB, and then spent a number of years as a Financial Editor with Affärsvärlden. In the mid-nineties, he dived headfirst into the financial markets and a number of years with Deutsche Morgan Grenfell, Folksam Asset Management—and worse firms—ensued. Since 2008 he devotes full time to his crime novels and running the publishing company Bullet Point Publishing. He plays a multitude of musical instruments in many styles and is equally likely to be found playing heavy metal guitar, be-bop saxophone or even classical recorder.
