Meet the Team - Wildlife Limited

Magnus Grinneback was born in Sweden and developed an interest in nature from an early age, growing up in a family that spent holidays and weekends walking, sailing, fishing and foraging across Scandinavia. He moved to the Island in 2018 after spending many years in Malta, Malaysia and China. 

He has spent his career working for international organisations such as the global management consultancy Accenture and large eGaming companies around the world. These days Magnus is the Chairman of the board of BV Gaming Ltd, one of the larger eGaming companies in the UK. He holds a MSC in Electrical Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. 

As Chair of Wildlife Limited, Magnus focuses on aligning the commercial goals of Wildlife Ltd with the broader mission of its parent organization, Manx Wildlife Trust (MWT). This includes finding new revenue streams and ensuring that our commercial activities are both financially sustainable and aligned with the environmental values of MWT. 

When not doing board work Magnus is often seen running or biking around the Island or in the small whisky distillery that he helped found in 2019.
