Johan Kinnander new investment manager at Optimizer Invest

With a new investment manager Optimizer Invest strengthens its presence and activity in the Nordic market.

Optimizer Invest has made a name for itself in just a few years, having built up a broad portfolio of interesting startups. Investments have so far been made in some 20 companies, of which nearly half are based in the Nordic region. Among the Swedish companies are Tinitell, Reve, Consector and Frontmen.

To be able to support the companies in the best way possible, Optimizer Invest has chosen to strengthen its organisation with an investment manager. Johan Kinnander will represent the company from January 1, and give strategic input to the entrepreneurs in Optimizer’s portfolio in the Nordics.

Johan Kinnander (50) himself is an entrepreneur and board member of Media Planet. Previously, he held senior positions in the gaming industry, including CEO of Betsson and COO at Betsafe. Former positions also include Country Manager at Google Sweden.
