President and CEO @ Universal Robots

When Fortune calls - you pick up... Especially when I get to share a bit about my love for coffee and robots ☕ Normally, I'd much rather talk about Universal Robots, automation, and the incredible work our team is doing. So it was humbling to be featured in Fortune Magazine's "The Good Life" series, where they capture some of the personal insights I don't usually talk about publicly. We discussed everything from my career path to style, buying groceries, and yes, my obsession with finding the perfect cup of coffee (spoiler: my La Marzocco helps with that). The conversation also touched on the incredible journey we’ve been on at UR. When I took on the role of leading UR, it wasn’t just about leading a company, but leading a vision of making automation accessible to anyone, anywhere. We’ve sold over 90,000 cobots worldwide, but it’s the human side of all this that keeps me motivated. That’s why it was refreshing to have the chance to reflect a bit, not just on the business, but on the balance between work, family and those little things – like the art of making homemade pizzas (which the kids love) – that keeps life grounded. Here’s to keeping things balanced, and maybe finding that perfect espresso along the way. You can read it here: https://lnkd.in/dE5yXCUw
