My goal at work (and life in general) is to help others be more effective and efficient - and data is the way. My passion for data and understanding of business makes me a great link between the two mindsets.

When working on a problem I try to develop an agile solution: deliver results quickly, but also prepare for the future, for example, by building better tools, gathering and sharing new knowledge. I have a warm fuzzy feeling inside knowing that some of the tools I helped create 10 years ago are not only used today but have been built upon.

Over my career I have been involved in a few major strategy projects, financial planning at Nordea, financial analysis; all with a focus on data, automation and simplification of processes.
