HT-Maths is the CEO of Hattrick and work mainly with development of the business while HT-Johan takes on the role as the Hattrick producer, the top dog when it comes to game development issues.

Even if spread out over two separate companies the HT-team is a rather tight group since working together over the company borders is the key to success.
