Henrik Torstensson’s Summary

I spend my time with great people I like in order to create world-class online services and companies.

In the last ten years I've been part of three (Spray, TradeDoubler, Stardoll) high-growth Internet startup companies and worked at a few more places. I started out on the product/editorial side, went over to the business side and now get to use knowledge from both areas.

I try to regularly meet new people in the Internet and media industries (I rarely turn down a breakfast at Nero or Non Solo) and am happy to give feedback on business ideas/plans/models (if I'm slow getting back, ping me again).
