Afterwards, he worked for an investment company in Memphis, where he built businesses in various segments, mainly within service and finance. He then founded two startups of his own; one which he successfully exited in 2021.
After this, he moved back to Sweden from the US and served for two years as the CEO of Aqua Nobel of Sweden before joining Klarna in March 2022, where he led commercial teams handling portfolios of large Klarna merchants until meeting Alex and starting Wingbits at the end of 2023.
Robin Wingårdh Co-Founder and CEO of Wingbits
Throughout his career, Alex has held different senior and leadership roles in software engineering at Scania and Klarna, where he worked on large-scale data systems. Outside of work, he's always been drawn to the startup world and has participated in various IoT and data crowdsourcing projects. This experience helped him identify opportunities in flight tracking, which inspired him to leave his role as an engineering manager at Klarna and found Wingbits.
