WHO'S BEHIND TALLSKOGEN?
That's me, Karl Skarman
I founded Tallskogen to gather my investments. By day I'm co-founder and CMO at Montrose, a digital investment platform within DNB Carnegie. I bring long experience as CMO and CDO from Montrose, Avanza and IVC Evidensia, working with growth, brand, digital products and customer experience. I invest with operator experience: capital plus useful help, when help is actually wanted.
