Niklas Billgren
M.Sc. Industrial Engineering and Management

Energetic and result oriented person intrigued by the possibilities of digitalization in the logistics field. Analytical and pragmatic are descriptors used by colleagues to describe me. In general, I'd say I'm perceptive, level headed and hold myself to high work standards. Naturally curious in life, technology and the people I surround myself with. Love to read, watch, play anything even remotely related to Sci-Fi.
