Protelo was founded in 2008 by Christer Johansson after nearly 20 years of experience in the software industry. Christer started his career as a hands-on technical consultant. Over time, his technical skills, business acumen and leadership skills elevated him to an executive position of a leading global enterprise class software company. Under Christer’s leadership, Protelo has been successful at building a team of highly skilled and experienced senior consultants.
Believing that long term success is the result of integrity, Christer has placed honesty and integrity as a core value of Protelo.
