CEO of Disruptive Media
Stockholm Area, Sweden
I have a broad experience in the communication industry, from publishing, film, TV and traditional marketing and advertising to cutting edge online media. I have also a thorough management and leadership background, working with both small teams and large organisations.
I'm an entrepreneur at heart and are at my best when challenged by problems and rapid change.
Currently I aid companies and organisations to understand, adapt and relate to the new market situation as the internet comes into its prime as the main channel for communication and commerce. I'm also the organiser of the Disruptive Media conference.
