Meet Therese Albrechtson
November 4th, 2008 by Fabian PfortmüllerAt Sandbox, we see every day that our generation (Gen Y) is truly different from former generations and one thing that strucks us again and again is to see the diversity of amazing things that young people can achieve already in their twenties. Why do one thing if you can do 10 different things at the same time? At the Entreprenörsdagen Event in Sweden two weeks ago, I met Therese Albrechtson who perfectly fits this category. She’s 23 years old and already running 3 companies under the umbrella of one holding company.
Just after graduation from high school, Therese founded her first company, Bodyguard Säkerhetsprodukter, developing and selling personal security products. Just 6 months afterwards, the company broke even, and now those products are available in stores in different European countries. Two years later, she decided to found a fashion company, focussed on black&white cloth, followed by a new company with the aim to market interactive whiteboards. From security products to black&white fashion and interactive technology, what a spread! I believe this diversity is amazing and a strong sign that someone is really driven by passion for ideas (rather than just making money). It proves the point, that you really dont need to be an industry expert to make things happen nowadays but you rather should just try. I think Therese is the new form of Gen Y serial entrepreneurs: passionate idea lovers who want to try it all! Would you agree?
Have a look at the short video interview and learn more about Therese on her website.
Therese is an inspiring young and attractive girl. Listen to her presentations will make you realize that everyone can succeed. After listening to one of her seminars it’s a big chance that you will start up a company and try out that idea you have (if you haven’t done that already). I wish you best of luck Therese. /Viktor Nord
