Per has the whole of Europe on his plate

Per Bahr lives in London, where he works with sales. He has been working at Precise Biometrics since 2010 and has found out that he really enjoys working for the Company, and that it’s even made him proud to be a Scandinavian.

You work with sales in Europe, how does it work?

It’s going well, although I have a large geographic area to cover. I have some fantastic colleagues who help with the logistics and other things. My job involves keeping in touch with customers and partners, but it does include some marketing and trade shows.

Is it a lot different from the time you spent in the microprocessor industry?

Yes, in quite a few ways. There is a lot more interest in biometrics than the products I was working with before. We have such a lot to offer our users with biometrics in terms of security, convenience and time. And then your life changes when you move from a large US company to a small Swedish one. There is space here for everyone to ask questions and to contribute to the development of the Company. And also respect for the individual and family life, which means that you feel proud of Scandinavia.

How does it work living in London as your base?

It’s excellent. I get over to France by train, and in London we have as many airports as in the whole of southern Scandinavia – it’s easy to reach the rest of Europe. Lots of big companies have offices here and London has a strong financial sector. This is ideal for a company that works with smart cards and biometric identification.

How do you see the future?

I believe that we have good products and are well-positioned in biometrics. We can do quite a lot of things that nobody else can, which is positive for our future prospects. It’s also interesting for me personally. I really appreciate my job, the congenial organization, and working with so many competent people.
