CEOFormer professional handball player who also studied computer science & the guy that came up with the idea for Iplay. Has worked with sales for 12 years both as KAM & Sales Manager at Ricoh. When Per wanted to sign with a club outside of Sweden he quickly realised how hard that was if you didn't have an agent or an established network within the world of handball. He then thought that this could be fixed with a social network just for sports.
