My main focus – and the clear task and purpose from day one – has been to grow both the top-line and the earnings. My focus and initiatives were two-folded:• Expand our German market based on a huge potential demand for e-papers in a German newspaper business that were far behind the Scandinavian digital development.• Generally, transform the whole company to focus more directly on our recurrent revenue. Visiolink’s product line is very well suited for long-term recurrent partnerships, and the financial impact of a higher recurrent ratio is very strong.After an intense focus on increasing market shares, growing sales, and at the same time optimising our project profitability and efficiency, we successfully prepared for equity group Vitec Software Group to acquire Visiolink in 2020. I had a minor share and upside. Show less
