Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Lindblad is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with 15+ years of hands-on experience designing loosely coupled, service-oriented systems and guiding teams from architecture to delivery.

A founder and longtime consultant, he blends startup agility with enterprise-grade thinking, having shaped core platforms at Klarna and co-founded mission-driven initiatives like Trast to protect children online.
