My background
I have extensive international experience and have worked with PR and communication worldwide after growing up in an entrepreneurial environment. Through more than 25 years in business, I have led communications departments and PR agencies, handling demanding issues and processes both in Norway and internationally.
I have worked for some of the country's most prominent leaders and thrive best when the pace is high and the challenges are complex. I am particularly strong in situations where reputation and trust are at stake, and I have broad experience within crisis and issues management and media relations.
I have worked as communications director for several of the largest and most international companies in Norway and have led PR agencies both in Norway and in the Middle East. This breadth and experience allow me to quickly understand both business and political drivers and provide practical, effective advice.
Education
I hold a Master of Arts in Communication Management from Bond University in Australia and am currently studying Artificial Intelligence and Technology Strategy at the Norwegian School of Economics. I have also completed programs at IMD in Switzerland and Insead in France.
What I believe in
Accountability
Every business has a responsibility to contribute to a better society. My advice will always reflect this.
Clarity
I am direct and honest, even when the message is difficult.
Facts and insight
Decisions should be grounded in knowledge and thorough analysis.
Relationships and trust
Advising is about people, and trust is built through integrity and consistent, high-quality results.
Execution
I focus on strategy, but I also roll up my sleeves to help implement solutions.
