About
I'm Alexander Strandberg, based in Malmö. I spent 15 years scaling studios from 40 to 150+ people at Avalanche, Ubisoft, and SharkMob—implementing P&L ownership, governance frameworks, and operational rigor that delivered record-breaking profitability and sustainable growth.
At FirstPlayable, I help high-pedigree founding teams focus entirely on building amazing products. I plug operational and strategic gaps—implementing governance frameworks, managing stakeholder alignment, and architecting the kind of systems that scale. During the startup phase, everyone does everything, and I flex with you.
My goal is to help the studios I work with raise at higher valuations, maintain architectural discipline, and build the operational rigor that separates sustainable ventures from cautionary tales.
