New sales agent at OPO for Bollé brands

2022-08-18

This fall we welcome Kristoffer Folkstrand to the team at OPO Scandinavia! As a sales agent, Kristoffer will travel around Sweden representing the brands Serengeti, Bollé and Cébé.

Welcome! Let's get to know our new sales agent better - please introduce yourself Kristoffer:

A serious, sports-mad spreader of joy, with a lot going on, who likes to challenge himself. That's probably how many friends and family would choose to describe me. From Staffanstorp in Skåne, where I now also live with my wife My and my daughter Vilda who will become a big sister by winter.

My background in sales is getting long. It all started in a sports store as a salesperson on the floor, which later led to sales manager and further to store manager. For the last 3 years, however, I have been out in the field and working towards stores. Having seen and worked in all parts and roles has given me the insight into the different roles, the challenges that you can face in the stores but also what wonderful and rewarding relationships you can create. If you make it work, it can be very rewarding for all parties.

15 years ago I was working in the Alps where an interest began and an insight was created in what advantages sunglasses and different lenses can provide in the different light conditions. It has lasted through the years and now that I have the chance to work with strong brands in this particular field and will also have the opportunity to meet all of you out there, I can hardly wait to get out and get started.

Besides doing this, I spend a lot of time on ice. As a hockey referee at the elite level, I travel around our long country and trying to bring justice during the games. Problem solving and calmness are two of my keywords in that role, and I also take that with me to work. I like challenging myself and the latest thing I've gotten into is triathlon which has also led to a few Ironman 70.3's and my first full Ironman this summer.

I am very happy to have been given this opportunity to come to OPO and to venture into the eyewear industry. Sine my first introduction at the office, the feeling is that I have ended up exactly at the right place and with great faith in the future, I am very much looking forward to start building relationships with all you wonderful people out there.
