The ex-Spotify CTO also serves as a member of the investment committee of Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP), industrial advisor of global investment organization EQT, board director of GPS tracking service Automile, and advisor of IT services and consulting company k6.Online gaming continues to be attacked on two fronts: the over saturation of casual titles and “ me-too” offerings coupled with an increasingly savvy but fickle user base, and the rapid transition to mobile.

Spotify was clearly too big to be cobbling together its own software. “This do-it-yourself attitude made no sense to his new, business-oriented colleagues. The CTO wanted to design the software instead of procuring externally but his stand didn’t get encouraged. The company’s reliance on business developers and marketing people and its attempts to please the music industry displeased Andreas severely, as per Sven Carlsson and Jonas Leijonhufvud’s ‘Spotify Untold,’ the source text of the show.Īndreas’ time at Spotify took a wild turn when the company decided to procure a particular enterprise software. Daniel and Andreas, as the show depicts, weren’t always in agreement when it came to the growth of the streaming platform.
