Oslo, Oslo, Norway
I am a Certified Product Management Professional for a very good reason. First, it is my experience that energy lies where people come together and create products users love. The teamwork, creativity, engagement, and drive are just incredible. Secondly, you need great products to thrive and make money in today’s global market and business. Thirdly, it is complex, involving many stakeholders, and practical adjustments to real-life challenges. And that is why I am so passionate about Product Management. At the beginning of my carrier, that picture was not that clear. But after working on many technical projects and products, it became clear that the business part was almost non-existent, and the product life cycle management was fuzzy. Hence, not sustainable, reinventing the wheel, again and again, wasting time, money, and resources. It was many pieces missing, but it was when I discovered and learned about product management it all came together. My job career has given me broad international experience from various industries, IT, Medical, Oil & Gas, Power T & D, Research, and High-tech startups. Roles covering researcher, co-founder, product development manager, product manager, CEO, and startup entrepreneur. A few key achievements: • Conducted interviews of 60+ managers and cross-functional team members across 9 industries to get insight on how to best operate a product business. #1 pain is lack of overview to make the right decisions on product & service innovations. • As CEO & Founder build a product life cycle framework (SaaS) that helps managers and teams get the big picture overview to prioritize innovative and high feasibility projects. • As Co-founder started the company SimSurgery AS together with investors and The National Hospital with base technology from SINTEF (Research Institute).

Selected by club members to lead the recruiting committee. In this period the members grow to over 800. My job was to support existing members and recruit new members. The main responsibility was to operate the sponsorship program to give new members a warm welcome to the club. In this program, new members were informed about security on the road, and practice safe test rides with a mixed group of cyclists. This program was super popular among new members, and our best way to recruit.
