Mercy - The Man Behind the Makers

If the weather allows me to, then you will find me in some of the various golf clubs around Copenhagen, as I am a vivid golfer. Besides that I love going out on café’s with friends or my fiancé and enjoy a good bottle of vintage red wine (or doing it at home) and in general hang out with friends. I used to be a hardcore party and clubbing guy, but life has taught me to cherish and use the little spare time I actually have on my loved ones and in another way, then back when I was 20.

With that said, I do though still not say no to a good party, but I’d just rather spend time on something that doesn’t involve me on the couch the next day due to hangovers, which I carry badly. To old? Not at all, just wiser. I do unfortunately also do other work in my spare time as I am involved in some real estate and property investments and therefore have to look out for various board meetings and financial things to be done, but I am trying to limit it. But basically I enjoy time of with a big E.

Your currently living in Copenhagen, have you always lived there and do you ever see yourself moving to either another place in Denmark or maybe another country?

I have lived in Copenhagen for around 3-4 years now and before that in the eastern part of Denmark in Jutland for some years, but for around 10 years or so I have lived outside of Denmark, like Spain, Germany, USA, Norway, UK, Netherlands and France, so I can’t say that I didn’t try that out yet and I will probably stay in Denmark for another 2-4 years and then most likely move to L.A in the USA or Monaco. I am not that big a fan of where I am born (Denmark), as I hate the weather, the cold winters and the insane tax system (I am paying 65% in tax).

Do you see your job at Regroup as a long-term career option? Are you planning in staying in esports for the near future?

My job in Regroup is what I make of it, I have been the CEO for several years and have now passed that position on to another person with more experience on that field and am now focusing on what I am best at, which is as a COO. Regroup is a growth company, which means heavy investments and at sometimes an IPO and an EXIT, so I won’t be there forever. I will move on at some point and go for my entrepreneur spirit and create something new, attract new investments and do the same thing over again, that’s more me.
