I am coaching and helping organizations to improve their security posture and cyber resilience.

I am a security professional from Sweden with +20 years of career experience. I possess a broad and deep understanding of today’s digital ecosystem, emerging technologies, security universe, and threat landscape.

My knowledge is a product of experience collected from both a defensive and offensive security perspective through technical hands-on assignments to management and leadership roles.

I can effectively communicate, both verbally and visually, within all levels of an organization. From technical subject matter experts, and architects to senior management, business executives, boards, and C-level.

I am known for and proud of my strong analytical capabilities and strategic thinking. I apply a pragmatic mindset in my work and encourage learning by doing.

In my background I have a sports career at a professional level, this has formed me into a real team player who is inclined to take lead and likes to be led. At the same time, I am a strong individual contributor who likes to pull up my sleeves and get sh*t done. A progressive leader, persistent learner, and strategist by the mind.

As a person, I’m self-reflecting, a thinking doer, and believe in growth through a multi-disciplinary and open environment.
