Christian started his career in renewable energy very early, spending a significant part of his childhood and youth splitting and stacking firewood as part of the daily work on the family farm. After studying Business Development at Chalmers in Gothenburg, he started working as an engineer with a focus on commercial construction project management. Over the years, he’s been involved in building over 1.2 GW of wind power throughout northern Europe and today leads Ilmatar Solar’s investment in large-scale solar power in Sweden. Christian is still active today in the Maglebjär family farm in Skåne.

Robert is the boy from Malmö who left the city to study and work in the green industries. With a background as an agronomist, his path has been full of twists and turns, going from administrator at the county administrative board to agricultural advisor, municipal environmental strategist and further as an environmental consultant with a focus on environmentally hazardous operations and water issues. Robert has spent most of his working life in his own consulting company with a main focus on mining operations. What Robert doesn’t know about the environmental code, permit processes and peat, no one else knows either. But life’s not just about sunshine and building solar parks, sometimes you have to have a beer too. That’s why Robert runs a brewery together with a friend and is often seen both behind and in front of the bar at various brewery festivals around Sweden.

Having spent the better part of a decade in Norway, Christopher has a deep-rooted interest in the outdoors thanks to the ‘out in the fresh air – never despair’ mentality that prevails throughout Norway. Interest in the outdoors combined with an interest in technology led him to the Institute of Technology at Linköping University and a master’s degree in engineering in energy, environment and management that was imbued with sustainable development, resource efficiency and environmental impact both at a local and global level. Christopher wrote his thesis on energy storage and has a particular interest in the energy system and renewable energy production.

Tobias Bowley has extensive experience in logistics in port operations. In his most recent role, environment and climate were his focus area.

Maria is half engineer, half artist whose heart beats for the environment and the future. After many years as a violinist with the symphony orchestra and as a photographer in her own company, Maria decided to change careers and became a civil engineer. Her thesis was related to the environmental impact of building materials, which helped pave her way into the sector, reporting on the environmental impact of blocks of flats and terraced houses in southern Sweden. She has also lectured in the degree programme for civil engineers at Malmö University and designed roof trusses before becoming a part of the llmatar team where her future as a developer and promoter looks bright. Maria is meticulous and enjoys order and doing things correctly right from the beginning. After a day of working with green transition, she gladly takes to her violin and immerses herself in its graceful melody.

Nicklas grew up in Malmö and took his degree in Environmental Science at Umeå University and at North York University in Toronto. After returning to Sweden, he has worked in many parts of Sweden, from Kalix in the north to Malmö in the south.
