5 Things You Didn't Know About Andreas Larsson, PaperSeed Gothenburg President

1. What is your favorite activity outside of work and volunteering?

I have always liked being outdoors and close to nature, often with a fishing rod close at hand. I can really recommend anyone that comes to the Swedish West Coast to head out to our archipelago, where there are plenty of opportunities to experience our lovely nature.

2. What are you most passionate about?

There are plenty of things that make me feel passionate, but all efforts aiming to improve the conditions for coming generations will always be special to me. For instance, here at the Gothenburg office we have been involved in an initiative that address children's education in underprivileged areas in Gothenburg. We are also looking at creating a mentorship program where teenagers are linked with CellMark employees to discuss education and other important topics. Taking care of children and teenagers will help our community grow in a positive direction and we are all able to participate in this important work.

3. Who is your role model?

I would not say that I have a specific role model. There are many people that inspire me to be the best I can be and I believe I try to adopt the best facets of anyone I meet.

4. What's something you're really good at?

I usually say that I am more of a generalist than a specialist, so I would say that one of my greatest strengths is that I know a little bit about a lot of things. Therefore I feel that I can adapt quickly to new circumstances and conditions.
 

5. Is there anything you hope to learn in the future? (rock climbing, cello, etc?)

I am always looking to improve myself in different ways. Since I really like traveling to new places, I would like to learn more languages to get the most out of the experience.
