August holds an M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering and Management from Chalmers University of Technology, with exchange studies focusing on finance from EPFL in Switzerland. August has experience from the automotive, energy, biotech, and infrastructure industries – e.g. working with the management team at Ramboll in Sweden.

While August may not boast Michelin-star culinary skills (shown by his occasional mix-up of salmon and ginger, or avocado and wasabi), his love for food is genuine. Besides enjoying food, you will often find him grinding it out on the treadmill or pumping iron in the gym with ABBA blasting in his headphones.
