I am a Senior Advisor in the E&T division at NORCE, with more than 30 years of experience in technical and strategic leadership roles within technology-based organizations. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Marine Technology from Bergen College of Engineering (1988) and have completed further education in leadership, HR, and strategy from BI Norwegian Business School (2006).

Throughout my career – primarily at Prototech AS - a subsidiary of Christian Michelsen Research AS (now NORCE) and later Clara Venture Labs – I have held a range of roles, including Project Engineer, Project Manager, HR & QHSE Manager and Managing Director (2006-2013). I have broad expertise in quality systems (ISO 9001), HR and management systems, personnel management, and organizational development. I have also served on the boards of the Norwegian Space Agency and Innovation Norway.

As a Senior Advisor at NORCE, I focus on contributing to effective structures and sound processes that support the research community and overall organization. I’m passionate about continuous improvement, collaboration, and developing holistic solutions that bring value to both people and performance.
