I am a visionary leader and communications expert, currently serving as the Chief Communications Officer at Digital Futures, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, a role I have had since August 2020. With a diverse career spanning over two decades, I have been at the forefront of driving strategic communications and marketing across various industries, including technology, innovation, real estate, education, and non-profit sectors. Before joining Digital Futures, I was National Director and Chairman of the Board at YFU Sweden, where I championed youth exchange programs, and Head of Marketing & Communications at Svensk Fastighetsförmedling AB in Stockholm. My career has also seen me leading marketing and communications for EIT Digital across Europe, enhancing digital innovation and entrepreneurship. At Electrolux, I played a pivotal role as European Sales & Marketing Manager and later as Manager of Product Management, Sales & Business Support, driving strategic growth in highly competitive markets. With a Science in Business Administration and Economics degree from the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg, I bring a results-oriented approach that blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution. My international journey includes key roles at Ericsson, where I shaped value-driven communication strategies, and at Esselte, where I excelled as a Sales Manager and Key Account Manager. From managing teams in Singapore and France to influencing strategic decisions in Europe and beyond, I have led diverse, multicultural teams to success. Driven by a deep passion for communication and leadership, I thrive in value-driven environments and enjoy turning challenges into opportunities. My ability to articulate visions, inspire action, and deliver results has made me an appreciated colleague in my field. With relentless curiosity and a commitment to excellence, I continue to lead with purpose, bringing people together to achieve common goals and shaping the future of digital transformation and innovation. I am committed to inspiring others, fostering collaboration, and communicating powerful visions that resonate across cultures and industries in every role I undertake.

I have a passion for people and business. I focus on sustainable leadership, sales, marketing, and communication to help companies and people grow. I love to engage, improve and develop.

Walk the talk. Dare to try. Care about others.
