Awakening leadership
Uplifting humanity
With a background in finance, strategy, and executive leadership, my journey has taken me from boardrooms and ocean sectors to deep cross-cultural work and feminine-led transformation.
For over two decades, I’ve worked across industries and borders—as a senior strategist, leadership coach, keynote speaker, and trusted bridge between people, businesses, and countries. I’ve led complex change processes, shaped high-level strategies, and coached leaders to rise into roles that require not just competence—but presence, clarity, and alignment.
Today, I bring all of this experience into a new paradigm of leadership—one rooted in awakening.
Awakening purpose. Awakening feminine values. Awakening sustainable, human-centered growth.
As co-founder of Awe Impact, I help build programs that connect leaders from the Nordics, India, and beyond—through transformational leadership journeys, business growth initiatives, and projects that bridge innovation and integrity.
I also speak on The Path of Hope – HopeWorks, a transformative business concept that integrates hope into leadership, strategy, and culture. Because hope isn’t just something we feel—it’s something we can build. And when we do, it fuels resilience, innovation, and real change.
If you're here to lead something that matters, I’m here to help you rise.
I am also the Chair of board in LEVE; An organization for people affected by suicide. Provides grief support, life skills development, and prevention efforts.
lead with Awe - execute with Purpose
Over a decade of exploration, I’ve seen how awe transforms more than moods—it transforms leadership. When leaders cultivate awe, they lead with humility, openness, and presence. They become more curious, less reactive. More connected to others, and more willing to see things freshly.Awe Leadership is the practice of bringing this expansive state into how we lead—teams, businesses, and ourselves. It invites us to move from control to trust, from pressure to presence, from performance to purpose. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being awake.
In a time when many feel disconnected, disillusioned, or depleted, Awe Leadership offers something essential: not just tools, but a return to what makes leadership—and life—worth showing up for.

STRATEGIC ADVISORY
My passion for strategy and strategic advisory started many years ago, but peaked in early 2000´s when I first entered became responsible for strategy in the business I was in. Since then I have had several VP Strategy positions within global companies and nordic companies. Later I was blessed to serve as a senior advisor for many companies, and been able to give strategic advice that has opened eyes and created movement in so many ways. I simply love how we have changed the way we work with strategy. From time consuming, constrained processes for a few people in management, into a much more creative, motivational, transformational way of working. Strategy today is a day to day tool for everyone in the company or organisation. Creating crystal clear direction and all hands on deck focus to make it happen. My toolbox is wide and deep, having worked with strategic advisory and strategy processes for many years, in many areas of the world and in various industries. My personal motto is that "Strategy is for everyone". As soon as we engage the majority of the organisasion/company/place in strategy and infuel energy and life force, the ball is moving in the right direction and foucs.
