Born in Sweden, Bo Gustav Stahlbrandt (bgs) has spent over 25 years in the IT field. His career started at a young age where he worked late hours programming older Norsk Data and VAX computers at the Uppsala Technical University, city in which he also studied electronics. He has been involved in the complete development lifecycle of a wide array of projects and products, such as business applications, embedded systems, agent based trading platforms (including the forerunner that would become eBay Germany) and management systems for distributed WAN cost-analysis.

He has spent the last 15 years mainly in southern Germany where he has designed and deployed systems mainly for the European finance and logistics industry. He has held VP, CTO and CEO hats in several startup companies since the early 90's.

Both engineers, they make a living selling ideas first. Maybe that explains why they sold each other the idea of creating Nikonians so fast and expediently moved into effective implementation. These and their other complementary skills and managerial experience were the basis for the quick deployment and continued growth for Nikonians. Thinkers and doers, thriving on creativity and innovation and highly focused, they both believe in empowering a "lean and mean" management structure; they share the principles of respect for themselves, each other and others, whether Nikonians members, team members, advertisers, sponsors and suppliers; honesty, idealism.

What may have started as a hobby, has become an ever expanding organization requiring much attention. Been very successful in their professional careers and lucky enough to have several diverse revenue streams, starting in the spring of 2006, both Bo and Ramón pledged their complete full time dedication to Nikonians.

They will continue to expand the very professional Nikonians Team they have assembled and of which they are so proud, and will apply all of their time and expertise to fulfill their vision of making of Nikonians: The World Wide Home for Nikon Photographers.
