Magnus has an MBA with a background in sales and marketing. After 10 years as an account manager & account director with the same company, Magnus was made responsible for the negotiation and purchase of the Nordic region's leading media security. With his extensive knowledge of how a salesperson thinks and what huge value a customer has, Magnus made a large number of very efficient negotiations that led to huge savings for the company.

That's when the idea for Purchase Partner was born; to save money for businesses and organizations by lowering their fixed and variable office costs. Purchase Partners Board of Directors is comprised of individuals with extensive experience in marketing and communications, digital strategy, the establishment of companies, business administration and certain supplier areas.

Magnus Hammar is also involved in various venture capital companies and a few start-up ventures in digital technology development.
