Before working at SEI, he worked as a research analyst for Jantzi Research in Toronto, Canada. Jantzi Research provides ethical investment research and his focus was on special projects to provide environmental, social and governance screening of investment portfolios.
During 2006, he was appointed to the City of Toronto “Community Environmental Assessment Team”, a five-year committee guiding the City’s assessment for the management of residual solid waste under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. After actively serving for seven months, a return to Sweden meant that he had to step-down from the committee.
