I am your new manager 👋

Hi!

My name is Tomas, and I’ll be your new manager. I’ve been at Hemnet since 2022 and am currently working as Head of Engineering in our domain called B2B. I’m really excited to support the teams that will be working on many new and important areas for Hemnet, including a data tool for agents to help them make more informed decisions as well as financial solutions for agents.

My leadership style is listening, transparent, accessible, and supportive, while also challenging you to take your next step. Hopefully, we’ll learn a lot from each other and have plenty of fun as we break new ground at Hemnet. As a team, we get things done; we know when and where value can be added, and we’re clear on our priorities.

Why did I decide to join Hemnet? I was strongly drawn to the culture and atmosphere – a wonderful combination of kindness, inclusiveness, and helpfulness, paired with high ambitions and a strong drive forward. My impression is that the people and the workplace together create the perfect foundation for you to do the best work of your career.

At Hemnet, we believe tech is better when built together. If you want to shape not only code but also the future of Sweden’s most loved housing platform, we’d love to hear from you.
