About Me
Ever since reading Competing for the Future, I've had a keen interest in the cross-section between strategy, technology and venture capital for the buildup of new companies and markets. ...

Unbeknown to me at the time when reading Competing for the Future, it came to trigger a specialisation and the buildup of skills for work in a world characterized by entrepreneurship, venture capital, growth management and project management. Sounds like a lot of buzz, but that is what it is.
Starting my career in Management Consulting at the Stockholm office of what is today Analysys Mason, but aiming to take a step further to both define and implement strategies, I've since then worked on Corporate Development and venture projects for the buildup and scaling of new companies and investments.
Over time, I've worked with well recognized and successful international entrepreneurs, investors and technology leaders across different industries, markets and countries. Starting in Sweden, my home country, I've come to live and manage investment and growth projects in Russia and Ukraine, and I've worked on projects with clients and stakeholders from one end of the world to the other. While some projects have required in-depth research and evaluation of opportunities and markets for business planning and financial modelling, other projects have focused on digitalizing processes and scaling up business for fast-growing companies. Despite the somewhat wide scope, the projects and work have all shared the common trait of being at the edge of new markets, products and ways of doing things, very much related to "Competing for the Future".
From 2016, following my years leading investment and establishment projects in Russia and the CIS region for Nordic companies and international investors, I've worked on technology and software projects for a boutique Anglo-Nordic investment and consulting firm as a Corporate Developer and senior Project Manager for the firm's investments and projects on digital services and platforms. During this time, following my field of interest, I've authored and published the book The Rise of Industrial 3D-Printing, which became an industry-recognized and recommended book to read. Since 2021, I work on a freelance basis, supporting investors and entrepreneurs in managing and developing venture 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 to me through Linkedin. I'm always glad to speak to fellow entrepreneurs, investors and growth-leaders.
