										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Linda Bjernstål is one of the less known successful entrepreneurs in the region. Growing Flygstolen, an online flightsearch site, to over €175 million in revenue since starting it over 10 years ago, Linda later sold her company to Dutch <a href="https://www.otravo.nl/press/otravo-acquires-scandinavian-online-travel-organisation-flygstolen/?lang=en">Otravo</a>. Continuing to head it as CEO after the acquisition, she in december <a href="https://oresundstartups.com/linda-bjernstal-resigns-ceo-flygstolen/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">2016 stepped down</a>. Since then she has been exploring new opportunities and been seen at events such as <a href="http://ecommercepark.se/ecommerce-invest-day/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">E-commerce Invest Day</a>. </p>
<p>Now she has announced her next project &#8211; going into the e-commerce market, both investing and becoming part of the operation team at the still small fashion e-commerce company <a href="http://www.pillowtalk.se/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Pillowtalk</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;My role is to lead the company&#8217;s digital development and e-commerce solutions. We plan to initially launch the business in other countries, but in the first place, it is about building a good platform for the Swedish market.&#8221; says Linda Bjernstål to <a href="https://www.8till5.se/2018-03-01/flygstolens-grundare-gar-in-i-kladbranschen" rel="noopener" target="_blank">8till5</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Pillowtalk specialises in cashmere garments, focusing on high quality products. Linda, never shy of challenges, sees it as a very interesting company and market.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It feels great to get into a whole new industry, to learn something new and start over from the beginning. The clothing industry goes through tough times, and even major players like H&#038;M are struggling now. This makes it extra interesting for me to invest in and work with high quality clothes.&#8221; says Linda.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>I will continue my work on the board and in consultation with our shareholders develop Flygstolen’s  future. In the office, I will regularly be available as an advisor, but I will release the operational part, says Linda Bjernstål in a press release.</p></blockquote>
<p>As a result of Bjernstål leaving the CEO position January 1, 2017, Flygstolen’s IT manager <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredrikolssonse" target="_blank">Fredrik Olsson</a> will be promoted and become the company’s new Chief Operating Officer.</p>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s exciting and challenging. The cooperation with our new owners gives us many new opportunities, said Olsson, who now looks forward to continuing to build Flygstolen. </p></blockquote>
