About

Entrepreneurial technology leader with deep technical skills and serious business acumen. I have built my career through always understanding and acting on the transformational capabilities of new technologies, splitting my time between consulting, tech-startups, and the occassional diversion into academia. At the moment, I co-lead a Commercial Technology practice in a Nordic management consultancy, which is growing well and has a team that makes me proud. I also try to do some useful research into AI on the side, focusing both on my original field of Argumentation and on Enterprise Software topics closer to my work life. Before that I worked at other consultancies and was a startup founder and CTO for a decade. Consider getting in touch if you need help with any of the following: - Creating strategies for using new technologies in complex legacy environments. I particularly enjoy innovating in messy brownfield environments and have succesfully introduced modern software practices in places where no one thought it could be done. - Breaking into regulated markets as a tech startup. I have particularly good insights for public sector, education, and life sciences. - Using cloud platforms (especially Salesforce, but others work too) to rationalize and streamline software delivery, while giving the business more value at the same time. - Dealing with compliance requirements for cloud platforms and AI implementations. I have had more than my fair share of discussions on GDPR et al. and have generally managed to reach an acceptable outcome. - Simplifying and modernizing legacy Enterprise Architectures, using pragmatic methods, but refusing to compromise on the key wins Do get in touch if something on my profile raises your curiosity. I am generally happy to have a chat, as long as your first contact isn't a pitch or the start of an automated marketing journey.
