Alex Norstrom

“Alex is one of the absolute strongest business-side tech executives on the planet. He has an impeccable sense of reading the future well ahead of the curvature of the horizon. He is a complete and thorough no-nonsense truth-speaker, incredibly loyal to his mission and company. Whether his formation of the mobile team at King that ended up producing Candy Crush on Mobile and propel King to significant success, or the machine (team) he has built at Spotify to take Spotify to the massive position on premium / subscriptions they have today, none of this would have happened without Alex. He builds value through very solid execution, recruiting and trusted partnerships. His team-members truly respect and love him, and it’s not surprising. His integrity, smarts, sense of humor and drive, is inspiring for everybody. Alex is the first person I call when I’m facing a really really complex and high-stakes problem. I trust him completely and he has continued to be an inspiration for me in my career. ”

“Alex has a rare ability to both paint the big picture in an inspiring way, while at the same time also dig into to the details of specific opportunities with high energy and curiosity to learn. With a combination of can-do attitude and his high intellectual ability, Alex seeks out new challenges, solves them together with his team, and learns from the experience with the explicit goal improve himself and those around him. It would be a pleasure and an honor to work with Alex again.”
