Daniel Ekman
CEO & Founder at MATCHi
Umeå, Västerbotten County, Sweden
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Ekman is a founder and CEO with 11+ years of experience turning product strategy into international, revenue-generating platforms, currently leading MATCHi, a global booking and matchmaking network for racket sports. He combines a background in industrial engineering, project management (PMP), and corporate strategy from leadership roles at Volvo with hands-on startup execution and product development. Passionate about making sport more engaging, he scales two-sided marketplace experiences that reduce venue administration and increase player engagement. His international studies and work— including time at the University of Tokyo and cross-cultural integration work on Nissan Diesel—give him a practical edge in navigating multicultural teams and markets. A long-time JCI leader and lifetime member, he pairs entrepreneurial drive with community-building and talent development. He’s actively looking for growth-minded partners in sales, customer success, and product engineering (preferring relocation to Sweden for product roles).
