link22 Recruits Experienced IT-expert – Marcus Ekbäck

link22 is thrilled to introduce Marcus Ekbäck as the new Business Area Manager for the area of Cross Domain Solutions. Marcus, an enthusiastic technologist, will reinforce the team with a broad and versatile experience that spans across several sectors.

Marcus was born and raised in Hälsingland and has a background in industrial engineering, with a focus on computer science. His interest in technology was sparked early in life when his parents gifted him a Commodore computer, which led him to start experimenting with programming. According to him, his technical direction was a natural choice. His fascination for technology has continued to grow over the years, as evidenced by his passion for home automation and network building.

Marcus most recently held a leading position at A-society. His career journey began at Ericsson in Linköping, where he worked with new broadband technologies just as the internet was starting to reach the general public.

From Ericsson, the journey continued to Motorola, where he took on the role of product leader for one of their IP-TV products. After Motorola, Marcus changed career paths and moved to work for a company manufacturing composites for the defense industry. There, he was head of a project office and also led a large project for an industrial customer.

Marcus sees his time in sports, specifically tennis, as an important part of his personal and professional development. He believes that his competitive background has taught him the importance of training, patience, and that rewards come to those who work hard. He has taken these lessons from the tennis court into his professional life.

Delivering components and technology to secure critical infrastructure and citizen's privacy imposes higher demands on cooperation.
