The profile

Replace with your image

A decade of building —
from code to C-suite.

I started as a frontend developer in 2017 and have never stopped moving forward. Today I'm an Executive Product Manager with full P&L responsibility across a $28M product portfolio — leading AI initiatives, driving 63% turnover growth, and shaping product strategy for the largest retail chains across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

Parallel to product, I've built a career in personal finance and capital markets. As Chairman of Unge Aktionærer and Board Member of Dansk Aktionærforening, I advocate for retail investors nationally — featured on Nasdaq, TV2, Nordnet, Danske Bank, and more.

I'm selectively taking on consulting engagements and building toward my next venture. If you're working on something ambitious at the intersection of product, AI, or capital — let's talk.
