SIME Talks 10: Johan Siwers makes love happen – May the love be strong in you, else there is Match.com

Johan Siwers considers himself to be a cupid (the term could be misleading, but it signifies love nevertheless), the angel with the bow that shoots love and brings together “two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl” ( fish bowl in this context would be Match.com members). He claims he has the best job in the world, and he stands by the fact that his Nordic entity of Match.com keeps the Scandinavian love flags flying mighty high. In fact, Match.com is the World’s Largest Online Dating Website (Guinness World Records) and surely it does bring some love into the world.

Tech Crunch lists Match.com as one amongst the 13 sites in the world to find love.
