Apper Systems AB CPO, IBM i Chief Architect
Sweden
I work as the CPO and IBM i Chief Architect at Apper Systems AB in Sweden. I am also the Director of Common Sweden, a member of CEAC - Common Europe Advisory Council and since 2020 an IBM Champion. In my daily work I help customer to use the full advantages of the IBM i operating system for applications that supports their business processes. The focus is alway the business needs. As I have worked in IT since 1987 I have seen how the IBM i operating system and its predecessors have evolved and also how IT in general have changed for good and bad.
