He is member of Sick's management board, responsible for the Advanced Industrial Sensors Div. which includes the Vision business unit. Before that, Gökstorp was general manager of Sick IVP. He earned his doctorate in machine vision from Linköping University in Sweden and his MS from Case Western Reserve University in Ohio.
