A passionate leader & advisor

As an experienced CDO, I know that companies today still struggle to break free from silos to embrace a more integrated approach, where data flows seamlessly into every decision-making process. I think of data as the core of every good idea coming to life in a company—the heart of it all.

I help businesses on their journey of digital transformation and responsible AI. (And when I don’t do that) I work as the founder of Girls in Tech Nordics, trying to uplift young women to see what I know to be true & is the most important thing for me: Data is fun, tech is fun, and to enable cultures where Data is truly at the heart of it all.

Why I do what I do

To me the next major frontier in a world where generative AI continues to grow in importance is sustainability and the governance of data and AI.  We all need to adopt responsible practices in data management. Why? If we do so, we reduce the environmental impact of our operations, establishing guidelines and governance frameworks that enable organizations to make responsible decisions regarding the use of data and AI. 

My most recent experience is from Zenseact, probably the most data intense company in Sweden today – so I know what I am talking about.
