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]}
