I am a second generation architect/ interior designer with more than 30 years experience. Growing up as child of two artists was of course a very special educational experience, which some one cannot get in school.
I spend my childhood in Germany, where my father worked as a free lance architect. He then continued his profession as an interior designer in Istanbul which gave me the chance to live in the culture of my origin. After studying architecture in the US and Turkey, I moved to Vienna and worked there as free lance designer for 14 years. Since 2004 I am executing projects mainly in China, Japan and Europe.

Per Koch is the founder of Pandia.com . Because of Pandia.com Per is considered an European expert on Internet searching and the search engine industry. Per also works as Director of analysis and strategic development at The Research Council of Norway. The eBrandz team has been trying for a long time to do an interview with Per. But because of his busy schedule it was difficult for him to find time for an interview. However, he finally found time to chat with us. These are excerpts from the interview :-

1) How and when did you decide to Start Pandia.com ?
That was actually as far back as in 1998. I worked at the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research at the time, in the field of science and technology policy. The Minister had asked me to be a member of the editorial committee of a magazine the Ministry was publishing, and as a member I proposed to add an Internet column and a website focusing on online resources for teachers. I learned a lot about the Internet and search engines this way, so when Parliament decided to close down the magazine, my wife Susanne and I came up with the idea to use this knowledge for a site on search.I like to say that Pandia was started as an act of Parliament!

Nick Dimakos is the owner of Surethik and eBrandz team caught up with him for this interview:-

When and how did you decide to start SureThik ?
I have been in the hair replacement business for 20+ years and customers were looking for a solution, but didn’t always want a transplant or a hair piece. I originally thought how I can make their hair look thicker right away, so I got my wife’s spice grinder and took some strands of hair and ground them up. I then found a shaker cap and tried to sprinkle a few strands into a person’s hair and the look on both of our faces was ‘’wow’’ it looks thicker. Don’t worry, I bought her a new spice grinder. The rest is history, now we sell thousands of kilos of hair fibers in our brand ‘’Surethik hair thickening fibers’’ and we also contract manufacture for many cosmetic companies as well.
