Who is behind Asap KB?

Founder

Marcus Lindgren,

trotting trainer at Marlin Cheval AB at the Halmstad trot and CEO/chairman of the investment company Marlin Capital AB and the development company EDS Equo Digitech Solutions AB (which owns the subsidiary ASAB Admin Sverige AB, which thus runs Asap KB). Marcus is not currently active in the executive work in ASAB Admin Svenska AB, due to the trotting associations rules for professional trotting trainers, but has an important role in the development work in the parent company.

Marcus has a past as CEO/Chairman of the Board/Development Manager/Editorial Manager at DMH Daytime Media House AB, a company group with brands such as Travtjänsten, Sporttjänsten, travnet.se, Travfakta, Snoken and Dagens Spel etc. In these companies, Marcus was active during the years 1996- 2005 before handing over the CEO role to take out his trotting license full time.

In 2013, Marlin Cheval AB started its business with cooperative horses on a small scale, a business that today has grown to around 40 horses and is called "stable MARLIN". It was the need for a stable admin service, like the Easy KB template with significantly better digital performance and faster service, that gave birth to the idea for what has become Asap KB today.

Board of Directors/Participant

Erik Bergqvist,

latest star to join the company in March 2023, a very interesting addition. Erik has over 20 years of experience in qualified sales, sales management and business development. For a decade now, Mr. Bergqvist has been working for the Microsoft company LinkedIn, where he leads one of their largest business areas in the entire Nordic region. In addition to this, Erik is extremely committed to the trot as both a horse owner and a fencer, and according to his own statement, he never sees fewer than 150 races a week. Erik's path into Asap KB simply comes from the fact that he was one of the first customers during the 2021 test period and our product was completely to his liking - and on that path it is. Erik will lead our sales team into the future via his position as a board member in the development company EDS Equo Digitech Solutions AB and in our management team.
