“The first thing that is worth mentioning is the environment and culture in the office. It truly reflects what a great organization it is. What’s also very appealing to me is their guts and willingness to invest and expand to unknown and different markets.'
Oslo, Norway — Preben brings his creativity, tenacity and fresh perspective to the SalesScreen team.
What is your work education/work background?
Preben: I worked at a Telenor store–both part-time and full-time–for 3 years. Since then, I have completed an innovation project with Atea and their two customers Microsoft and HP. During this time period I have been working on a Bachelor degree in Innovation and Business Development at Høyskolen Kristiania-right by the office.
What are some of your hobbies?
Preben: I love everything that has to do with downhill skiing and ski touring in the mountains, but that is quite seasonal unfortunately… Right now I play volleyball and squash to get in shape for the winter season!
Why did you choose to work for SalesScreen?
Preben: The first thing that is worth mentioning is the environment and culture in the office. It truly reflects what a great organization it is. What’s also very appealing to me is their guts and willingness to invest and expand to unknown and different markets. I think this, combined with working in sales is super motivating for me–I mean who doesn’t want to be a part of that?
What are your expectations of working here?
Preben: I expect to have a lot to do, never get bored, learn new things everyday and get responsibility. I expect to see results of the job I’m doing.
What unique qualities or skills do you bring to the table?

Have you ever worked for a startup? Are you excited about it?
Preben: Not really, but I have been involved in starting up two youth businesses and one student-run business.
