I have been working with ideas and innovation since the mid 90’s, either starting my own projects or helping others start theirs. I spend my days as an Innovation Strategist and Business Coach at the innovation office at KTH, The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.

That’s where I get to help students and researchers realize their ideas, which means that I’m in the epicenter of new tech development, everything from robotics and AI to food and digital health.

2015-16 I spent in Silicon Valley on a Wallenberg Fellowship, helping start the Swedish part of the Nordic Innovation House in Palo Alto.

In addition to helping others, I have also started quite a few companies myself, and the foundation Entrepreneurs Without Borders (EWB) https://www.ewb.world

I’m also an avid TEDxster, I joined the group that brought TEDx to Sweden and have arranged a number of events (10+) as the licensee for TEDxKTH and now also TEDxKTHSalon.

I have also had the honor to speak at 5 separate TEDx events all over Europe.

My professional speaker career started back in 2003 and since then it has taken me all over the world, from Colombia and Brazil to China and Japan.

And it has also got me on TV, I’ve been part of three separate TV shows on innovation; Idéfabriken on Swedish SVT, The Inventors on Swedish TV4 and Meallions on Russian tv.

Get in touch to discuss ideas, possibilities and in general how to make the world a happier better place.
