About us - Our story
On a stressful day, I was rushing home from work still with a handful of things left on my to-do list. It was my turn to cook that evening and my fiance had just texted to ask when I should be home. I also need to pop into the pharmacy to relieve my sore throat and grab some dental floss; I’d been meaning to go for a few days but just never found the time, what with constant meetings and deadlines due at work.
This recurring event on my to-do: go to the shop for health products, is what has become the seed for the idea behind founding medino.
We have been searching, but unable to find a truly digital online retailer of health and beauty products - It is now very common to order groceries to your doorstep, or shop clothes conveniently, and with quick and smooth delivery as well as returns.
However, you and I still go to the pharmacy down the street to buy medicines or health and beauty products. This needs to change and we believe it is time to set a new standard for health and beauty shopping online.
We are on a mission to make health and beauty shopping more convenient whilst maintaining the high-quality services our customers would expect from a traditional pharmacy. The team behind medino all have a digital background and we are applying new digital advances to make shopping more convenient for you.
Together with you, our customers, we want to develop the type of shopping experience that we ourselves have been missing: Join us in making health and beauty shopping digital with medino - The Pharmacy in Your Phone.

Managing director at medino
Our values
The team
Evita
Evita takes care of the medino warehouse and sending out your order. She sees to it that your order is getting to you - packed well and on time!
Megan Flynn
Meg is always here to assist your customer service needs. She enjoys anything and everything related to musical theatre, film and animation. Is a firm believer in ghosts.
Christian Jakobsson
Christian is the magician who went into IT sales and project management before co-founding medino. He works with all sides of the business and if you cannot find him by his desk he is most likely picking and packing your orders in the warehouse.
Les Cleaver
Avid collector of 2nd world war militaria and reader of books about the war. Always listening to music (the heavier the better), but preferably performed live. Has just taken up the hobby of Air Pistol shooting.
Brad Morgan
Brad is part of our buying team. He enjoys spending time with his friends and the company of others. During his spare time he enjoys snow boarding, videogames and football.
Henrik Blomkvist
Foodie that originally went into tech because he loved computer games. When he’s not making sure medino’s tech side is on top of things, he is taking product photos or making a fresh pot of coffee. Makes his own chilli sauce.
Viktor Holmberg
Viktor works mostly on keeping the medino web site running smoothly. He’s an avid cross-country skier and also does a bit of painting in his spare time. His favourite soft drink is fanta.
Gintare Sukyte
Gintare has a passion for meshing together creativity and analytics. Whether it's analysing reports to make the site more user-friendly or designing and DIY-ing a new chair. The world is your oyster so why settle for mediocre? This is why you can now find her working at medino as the e-commerce manager.
Alessandro Grenci
Alessandro loves cooking and food. When he's not eating, you'll find him in the garden taking care of his plants and vegetables. Or out for a walk with Haru, his cheeky dog and Buba, his life love. He finds science and tech fascinating and he wishes he had more time to read and explore it. As a pharmacist he finds it fulfilling to help people with their daily issues and always tries his best to keep them healthy and happy.
Lars Elfversson
The father of three small children and a serial entrepreneur who got frustrated over how hard it was to get pharmacy products delivered to your door. Lars realised if it was ever going to happen - you had to fix it yourself. Meeting different cultures and being active with his family is what gives him energy.Sounds like a team you'd like to work with?
