About

From selling phone plans on the street to leading sales teams of 130+ people, I’ve learned one thing: Growth is about focus and always improving. Focus on the customers that matter. Focus on what actually drives results. And focus on making things better. In 2008: I was selling phone contracts on commission on the streets. In 2015: I was leading Samsung’s 130-person sales force in the Nordic’s. In 2022: I became CEO of SCHMACK, helping companies grow and generated over 20m+ in client sales. I’ve helped companies ditch outdated methods, integrate AI, and bridge the gap between sales and marketing—because when those teams work together, magic happens. If you’re tired of excuses like "we’ve always done it this way" or "this doesn't work in our industry" you’re in the right place. Marketing is about results. Let’s make sure you’re getting them. And if you’re not ready to work together yet, stick around. I share insights on customer experience, sales strategies, and how we use AI and data to drive growth for our clients.
