Sigurd Magnusson
Sigurd is one of SilverStripe’s three co-founders and worked there for the company's first sixteen years. He continues to serve on the board of directors.
He's been living and breathing the internet since 1995 when the Wellington City Council provided the region's only internet service, then entirely text-based. The potential of the internet piqued his interest and he began learning computer programming.
Sigurd's strong technical ability and excellent people skills add valuable depth to SilverStripe. No longer involved with programming, his interest and experience with the technologies that form the internet make him extremely useful in identifying how technology can be used to push boundaries and solve human challenges.
Sigurd is an evangelist for the principles and technology of the web, and is an avid supporter of open source, open data, and the web as a modern software platform.
Off the web, he enjoys spending time with his family, mountain biking, camping, and experiencing foreign cultures, and now works in the clean energy and transport sector.
