Lars has earned a Master of Investment Management from Cass Business School in London. He has specialised in technology businesses that provide software, consultancy services, cloud services, computer security and infrastructure. Lars’ strengths undoubtedly include his incredible stamina and his ability to focus on getting the transaction across the line, irrespective of what it takes. His knack for improvising solutions on the hoof is legendary. His social talent and his ability to create an amicable atmosphere in any setting are clearly valuable assets in that regard. Besides, he is something of a linguistic chameleon, who swaps seamlessly between Swedish, English and his Røros dialect (which is even incomprehensible to people from Oslo). And Lars would of course not have been Røros born and bred if he did not love the classic Norwegian fish delicacy rakfisk. If the concept of rakfisk was explained to a Swede, he might compare it to the equally traditional Swedish surströmming. A Norwegian would frown at that comparison.
