Meet our People: Ivan Svensson

Ivan has a technical specialization in biotechnology within his educational program, so he found TSS to be a great fit.

“I didn’t know so much about temperature monitoring and the critical role it plays in the life science industry. So when I heard about this job opening, I started to do some research and realized how huge this area is, and it was an eye-opener”.

“The company appealed to me in many ways, both the fact that they are on the frontline in their field and that they have a unique approach to temperature monitoring – it’s not just about the logger but what’s important is the software capabilities – the data you can capture, and what you can do with it”.

Another factor that made Ivan apply for the role at TSS was that the company is relatively small, meaning he gets the chance to take part in projects that cross over into different areas. ”I like the fact that you can be a part of the process the entire way, from idea to finished product. Also, compared to working at a big company, you get a better chance to get involved in other processes than just your primary duties. You learn a lot when you get to see various aspects of the business on a day to day basis”.

Working in a small company also means it’s possible to get to know everybody in the company, which is a good thing for building team spirit and a positive workplace atmosphere. “For me, it’s important that it’s fun to go to work. We help each other out, and the atmosphere is relaxed. That’s something I truly appreciate.”

“The best part is to visit our customers and see how they use our solution. It’s a nice feeling to know that the things you do back at the office makes a difference out in the field, in our customers’ day to day operations”.

Ivan remembers one of his first trips to a site in Montes Claros, a city located in northern Minas Gerais state in Brazil. “I had worked at TSS for a couple of months by then. A colleague and I visited a customer in a support errand and travelled to a place in the middle of the rainforest where the site was located. It was an amazing experience, and it felt good to know that TSS put so much trust in me already from the start”.

Ivan does not travel around the globe every day, however. Most of the time, he’s working from the office located in Haga area just close to Stockholm city. On the question what he likes most about his work, he replies:

“The solution, the technology – it’s quite cool what we do around here… And of course, the colleagues. I have much fun at work”.
