Futurologist, strategy & creative advisor.

Introduction

I have dedicated my career to blending creativity with analytical skills, cultivating successful businesses and distinguished brands.

For over two decades, I’ve been navigating the exciting crossroads where technology, society, and human behavior intersect. As a strategist, futurist, and speaker, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some of the world’s most innovative organizations –  Volkswagen, Fujifilm, Ericsson, MasterCard, Siemens, The World Bank, and the IFC (to name few:-)

My journey has taken me through diverse landscapes of the tech world. I’ve worn many hats: from Head of Development and Technology at Edgecom (now part of Ericsson Business Consultants), to Program Manager at Microsoft, Chief Knowledge Officer at Cellcom, and In-house Futurologist at Volvo Cars.

These roles haven’t just been job titles. They’ve been vantage points, offering me unique insights into the dance between technology and business strategy. This firsthand experience has equipped me with the knowledge and foresight to guide organizations through transformative changes, helping them not just adapt to the future, but shape it.

My secret sauce? It’s a blend of unconventional curiosity and a dash of rebellious thinking, simmered slowly since the early days of my career. I had an ‘aha’ moment when I realized that our traditional education systems often serve up conformity instead of genuine inquiry. That didn’t sit well with me.

So, I decided to color outside the lines. I've made it my mission to see the world through a lens that's part microscope, part kaleidoscope – always questioning, always exploring. This isn't just a perspective; it's a superpower that allows me to shatter conventional boundaries and weave new knowledge and techniques into the fabric of innovation. It's this approach that led me to co-found RETHINK, where, as Creative Director, I'm applying this unique lens to revolutionize how brands engage with global audiences.

Ready to peek through this lens and see what the future might hold? It’s a view that’s equal parts thrilling and transformative. Let’s explore these dynamic possibilities together – after all, the future is too exciting to face alone.

Session, Sprints & Deep dives

I’ve been at this for quite a while now, and I’d like to think I’ve gotten pretty good at it. The cherry on top? I genuinely love what I do.

As the years have rolled by, I’ve realized one thing: life’s too short for anything less than awesome. So, I’ve become a bit pickier – I only team up with people who spark joy and brands that make me go, ‘Wow!’ It’s not just work; it’s a passion project, every single time.

No mater if a keynote or a creation sprint, each engagement is crafted to address your unique goals and challenges. From initial briefings to in-depth strategic discussions, my goal is to equip you with actionable insights you can implement immediately.
