About Carl Almgren

Love working with brilliant, highly talented developers that want to change the world and make the impossible possible.Currently, I head up the product development at Soundtrack Your Brand. Where our awesome team is developing music services for businesses. Soundtrack Your Brand is a Spotify-backed company that offers music streaming services for businesses. We serve small customers, like the hairdresser around the corner, and large enterprises like McDonald's, Tony & Guy and TAGHeuer.Playing music in businesses are far different from playing music at home. A business music service is pretty much a collaborative, multi-user, multi-location game where enterprises need a vast selection of music that's continually updated. Also, the music itself profoundly influence consumers' experience and behaviour, which we have repeatedly proven in our research, and as thought leaders in in-store music research, we try to educate the world about the impact of music.Our product development team consists of 50 very talented, motivated and humble product managers, ux designers, music experts and engineers with experiences from EA, Spotify, Skype, iZettle, Viaplay, Blocket, and Aftonbladet. In total, we are about 100 people working from Sveavägen in Stockholm.After building an impressive Nordic customer base in the last couple of years, we have now expanded internationally and are currently live in Europe, America, Asia, and Africa.Don't miss the party!Join the band at https://www.soundtrackyourbrand.com/careersPreviously I used to lead the development of the Frostbite game engine, and manage the teams in Stockholm, Vancouver, Edmonton, Guildford and Tiburon. Frostbite is EA leading platform for game development and powers games like Battlefield, FIFA, Need for Speed, Dragon Age, Mass Effect and Star Wars: Battlefront.
