Nikolaj Schnoor joins our Global Business Development team

As we expand our collaborations with global industry players, Nikolaj has joined us to facilitate strategic partnerships. His extensive network and industry insights are already proving invaluable to our mission.

Nikolaj brings extensive experience to the Optikos Prime team. With over 25 years of expertise in the premium eyewear industry, he played a pivotal role in shaping the sector's evolution in Asia, founding the first foreign independent eyewear company in China in 2003. His groundbreaking work introduced luxury eyewear brands to the Chinese market, setting new standards for premium optical products.

Nikolaj subsequently served as Global Chief Commercial Officer at the Danish eyewear company Lindberg, where he spearheaded global sales strategies, brand positioning, and market expansion for their high-end collections. His sharp business acumen and deep understanding of consumer behaviour have consistently delivered outstanding results in competitive markets.

Originally from Denmark, Nikolaj’s lifelong passion for art, design, and fashion inspires his relentless pursuit of style, craftsmanship, and technical innovation. His unique ability to merge aesthetics with functionality reflects a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what luxury eyewear can be.

At OptikosPrime, Nikolaj will be focusing on Global Business Development and will work close with our COO, Ståle Fredlund Husby. 

What do you do to unwind? 

I immerse myself in the natural beauty that surrounds me. I engage in activities such as skiing, hiking and spending time by the lakes. These activities help me relax and recharge, perfectly balancing my professional life. 

Where do you live, and what's a must-do activity in your hometown? 

I reside in Lugano, Switzerland, known for its scenic lakeside setting and vibrant culture. Skiing around Engadin is a must, as it has charming views and a peaceful atmosphere.

Why did you decide to join OptikosPrime?

My deep-rooted passion for the future of the optical industry drove my decision to join OptikosPrime. With my extensive experience in premium eyewear, I see many opportunities for innovation and growth. OptikosPrime's commitment to advancing optical technologies and enhancing customer experiences resonates with my goals, and I am confident that together, we can drive meaningful advancements in this field.
