Magnus Haug Wanberg is a Norwegian entrepreneur and founder of reMarkable, a company specializing in digital paper technology.[1] Wanberg served as CEO of reMarkable for nearly a decade before stepping down in December 2022. He currently serves as the Executive Chairman of the company's board.[2][3][4]
Education
In 2011, Wanberg received a Master of Science in Industrial Economics and Technology Management from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). At NTNU, he spent a year as a Fulbright Fellow at the Harvard Business School and attended classes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).[5][6][7]
Career
After graduating from NTNU, Magnus worked for a year as an associate at the Boston Consulting Group.[8]
In 2013, Wanberg founded reMarkable.[9] Magnus Wanberg was inspired to create reMarkable after realizing that while paper improved his focus and thinking, it lacked the flexibility of digital tools, leading him to develop a paper-like tablet that merges the best of both worlds.[4][3]
He then spent more than three years developing the original paper tablet, reMarkable 1, which was announced in 2016 and launched in September 2017.[10][11] Now the company sells reMarkable 2,[12][13][14] reMarkable Paper Pro,[15] and keyboard accessory Type Folio[16] to over 50 countries worldwide.[17][18][19][20]
Under Wanberg's leadership, reMarkable grew rapidly, expanding from a small startup to a company with over 500 employees and a valuation exceeding $1 billion.[21] The company was recognized twice by the Financial Times as one of Europe's fastest-growing companies.[22] In 2022, reMarkable announced it had sold over 1 million tablets worldwide.[23]
In December 2022, Wanberg stepped down as CEO, transitioning to the role of Executive Chairman of the board.[8][24]
