Wilhelm Ålander, our Junior Product Manager, always contributes with his positive energy and motivation to our awesome Product team that plans, develops and maintains our product and services. Wilhelm started at Dstny last year because he thought that Dstny, in a conservative field, dares to think outside the box. A company where one is always surrounded by likeminded and motivated colleagues, where there are always projects in action, and where you learn things every day. Before he became a part of Dstny he studied Math at Lund University. He is an avid Chelsea fan that likes to strength train or play football as a “rickety” attacker. Not only that, he is always an undefeated FIFA 21 master. As a foodie he also has some pretty impressive food records in restaurants and holds the worlds best taco recipe.
