Topic: Fireside chat with John Lindfors (Digital Sky Technologies) led by JJ Colao (Forbes)

Bio: After graduating from the Swedish School of Economics in Helsinki in 1993, I joined Goldman Sachs in London as a Financial Analyst. After 13 years at the company in different positions, I ended up leading the European Technology and Media investment banking department from 2005 onwards as a Partner at Goldman Sachs. I joined DST (Digital Sky Technology) in 2010, which is a growth-focused investment fund. DST's founder, Yuri Milner, had been a client and good friend for many years before I joined. We target founder-led category leaders in the internet and tech space and past investments include companies like Facebook, Zynga and Groupon. Current portfolio companies include Alibaba Group, Spotify, Klarna, Zalando, Jingdong (360Buy), AirBnB among others. I'm also the Managing Director of DST's Asian office in Hong Kong.
