Yesterday at 10:15 PM1 day Kajsa Johanna Lysgaard Leander, born 11 July 1970, is a Swedish former model, designer, IT entrepreneur and apple farmer.Together with Ernst Malmsten, she founded the book publisher Leander Malmsten in 1994 and together they started the online bookstore Bokus in 1997. Bokus came to fundamentally change the way Swedes buy books. The project was successful and was sold a few years later to the KF Group.Together with Ernst Malmsten and Patrik Hedelin, she started Boo.com in 1998, an e-commerce site for clothes and shoes that was one of the largest ventures in e-commerce at the time. During this period, Leander was sometimes called the "dotcom queen" and the "high tech Lady Macbeth". For boo com , they raised 1.4 billion kronor in venture capital and wanted to be at the forefront of technology by, among other things, having three-dimensional mannequins where customers could see the clothes on their screen from all angles and with the ability to zoom in on the materials. The website was launched on November 3, 1999 but was a failure, partly because many people were unable to load the page with their slow modem connections.boo com went bankrupt after seven months and has become a symbol of the IT bubble that burst at the same time. Kajsa Leander currently (2014) runs the film production company Vision and Art, with offices in Stockholm and Milan. She is a trained pomologist and runs an apple orchard and a wine cellar in Småland. -- Wiki
