28 years of getting people back to work.
As Senior Director at one of the country’s largest providers, I helped win major national contracts, built new units from the ground up when contracts were won, and led the 370 people who delivered them.
I have also built companies from scratch. As co-owner I brought a French cosmetics brand to the Norwegian market and introduced speed dating to Norway as the first operator. Along the way I have had two successful exits as co-owner.
My roots are in HR and change management. That shaped how I lead: calm, structured, and focused on what happens in the daily work with participants, employers and public partners.
