Life At Bonnier - David Balsam

Meet David Balsam

With 12 years of sales experience, David Balsam is an expert at turning careful planning into reality.

After growing up in suburban Stockholm and finishing school, David Balsam did his military service in Uppsala, an hour north of Stockholm. When he finished his nine months, he got out and began his career as a sales representative. "I've worked as a salesman for 12 years," says Balsam, who is 32. He worked at Eniro, the telephone and address web search engine, and then the free daily Metro before starting at Dagens Nyheter. "It was a wonderful day in October 2006," he says. "I remember it as if it was yesterday."
