My engagements
- Entrepreneur
I am an entrepreneur.
After almost 25 years of working in Marketing and Communication for big companies, I started my own business. Shortly after, I became part of Innovation Lab, the oldest innovation house in Scandinavia. At Innovation Lab we have our own micro companies, and work as a team. Not an organization - more an organism, dynamic, and constantly developing.
I believe all businesses - whether they consist of employees or micro-companies, they need to develop an entrepreneurial mindset.
- Business Angel
I am a Business Angel and an Angel Investor.
My passion is to help others grow. Whether they are large businesses who need to transform from an industrial to a digital mindset - or they can be a startup, struggling with staying alive, surviving through the valleys of death, hardly coping - but then thriving, building and expanding.
So far I have invested in two startup companies, Eir of Norway and Myhatt.
My belief is that anyone can become an Angel Investor - and my hope is that everyone will.
- Board work
I find true purpose and meaning through engaging in board work.
Developing Future Organizations should start with the board.
I am currently Chairman of the board in two companies I find incredibly exciting:
I am also part of the board at Stavanger Jazzforum.
