About Karl Nilsson

As a professional I’m eager to get involved in international projects where I interact with people from many different backgrounds, need to re-evaluate my “truths” now and then and handle unexpected events regularly.I spent the last +15 years in leading positions at high-tech start-up companies. Most roles have revolved around management, technical development, business development and sales.My educational background is in physics, which I studied at the University of Gothenburg, with a focus towards surface physics and biomaterials. I also completed a master in Innovation and entrepreneurship at the Chalmers School of entrepreneurship, Chalmers University of Technology.I also spent four years as an officer (2nd Lt) in the Swedish Army serving both abroad and at the unit in Sweden.I've always been into sports including rock- and mountain climbing, skiing, snowboarding, running, orienteering, muay thai, jujutsu and Australian rules football.Get in touch!k@lle.se+46 705 785677 (Text, WhatsApp, Signal etc.)

    Parans Solar Lighting Oct 2015 - May 2017
    Gothenburg, Sweden
    Managing all technical aspects of both the established product and the development of the fourth generation at Parans and supporting the sales department. The technological development included designe, fine mechanics, sensors, hardware, software, optics and fibre optics. The role also included hands on field work all around the world meeting customers and users during both installation, support and maintenance. Developing and marketing products towards the construction business and commercial buildings means that you are interacting with a wide range of professionals such as architects, constructors, project managers, project developers, light designers, daylight and sustainability professionals as well as tenants. Having a leading role in a small company also entails that you put your hands where they are needed at the moment.

  • Parans Solar Lighting
    Product Manager
    Parans Solar Lighting Oct 2013 - Sep 2015
    Gothenburg, Sweden
    The role as a product manager was basically a 50/50 split between technical project management and business development. Managing the product development of the new product on one hand and selling a product, where you need to shape the market, on the other hand. Marketing a new and innovative product towards a somewhat traditionally controlled business such as construction development is a challenge.With two different products, one established product needing further development and one at an early development stage, meant two vastly different product management roles at the same time.
