What I Do
What I do builds on combining strategy and management consulting with Agile principles to lead investment and buildup projects of companies and markets.
Strategy and Investment Research
I help Venture Capital investors build and gain an in-depth understanding of specific markets, technology opportunities and trends to develop and validate investment hypotheses. I help my clients answer questions such as where is technology XYZ heading, what are the trends, what are the use-cases, what will a wider technology adoption require, which companies and other investors are active in the sphere, what is the likely growth and value rates of an emerging industry or market? The research and answers are based not only on secondary sources, but more importantly, on collecting and analyzing first-source data and expert opinions as this gives a competitive edge in decision-making, implementation and being first where it counts.
Deal Sourcing and Evaluations
I help Venture Capital investors to expand their search field for companies and founders to invest in by targeting specific industries, markets and technology areas. With my assistance, Investors gain up-to-date views of companies and investment opportunities in areas they otherwise might not have had the resources to work on by themselves as sourcing often requires dedicated time to not only identify opportunities, but also to filter and to screen the identified potential opportunities.
Company Growth Management
Having successfully built companies from the ground-up, introduced disruptive business-models, and having a background in strategy and management consulting - I help Founders and Investors to develop and implement growth and scale-up strategies for their specific portfolio companies. This line of work is as much about researching and gaining facts to support decision-making, as it is about working with management to plan and implement decisions.
Previous Engagements
In my work I've built new companies from the ground up, directed investment projects, identified growth opportunities, and successfully defined and implemented growth strategies.

About Me

I build and develop companies in the intersection between strategy, technology, investments and new markets. I work as a Corporate Developer, Project Manager and Venture Partner with mainly Nordic investors and founders pursuing growth and investment opportunities in new markets and countries.
Following my master's studies at the University of Stockholm, Sweden; I worked as a management and strategy consultant with mainly Nordic telecoms and government agencies. Aiming to not only recommend on strategies and investments, but also to implement them, I spent the next few years leading international expansion projects for Nordic companies and investors in Russia and other CIS-countries - which gave me not only the experience of managing fast-growing companies, but also doing business in fast-growing and dynamic markets.
From 2016, I've worked on technology and IT-platform based projects and investments for a boutique Anglo-Nordic investment and consulting firm. In addition during this time, following my passion for technology, business and strategy, I authored and published my book The Rise of Industrial 3D-Printing, which became an industry recommended book.
Since 2021 I work on freelance basis, supporting investors and founders to research, plan and manage investment and company development projects.
On a more personal note, when I'm not working, I enjoy cycling, running, reading, cooking and caring for my wife and our two children.
Please feel free to connect with me on Linkedin. I'm always glad to speak to fellow entrepreneurs, investors and growth-leaders.
