About

My personal mission is to contribute to a better world by working with inspired teams to bring medical advancements & ideas to life. I work with life science startups in the Nordics on identifying growth opportunities, building strategic partnerships, and scaling effectively. I'm also the Founder & Chair of WiLD Norway, through which we work to advance gender equity in leadership, boardrooms, founder and investment roles in life science - and showing how doing so impacts women’s health. I’m valued for my strong core values and a well-maintained, global network across seniorities, therapy areas, industries, and financial sectors. In both my personal and professional life, I’m a staunch advocate for women, diversity, LGBTQIA+, and the underserved.
