“Great colleagues make each other better.” Magnus tailors his talks — from short, high-energy keynotes to more process-oriented sessions — according to your wishes.

Many clients return to Magnus after his first engagement, making him a valuable long-term partner for us at Hestraviken. We highly recommend him!
